Description
An account of the resource
Ιt is said that in the Garden of Gethsemane, on the Mount of Olives, in Jerusalem, that there exists an olive tree from Christ’s time. This is not improbable since it is known that olive trees existed since antiquity and that olive oil was produced in Cyprus as far back as the 13th century BC.
According to Magda Ohenfalsch-Richter (1873-1922) the monasteries of Kykko and Machairas possessed whole forests of olive trees well in excess of the church’s needs. In Cyprus many olive trees grow in the wild and are not grafted. In Greek mythology the wild olive is the tree that drives away evil spirits. The olive trees that grow in the mountains produce smaller olives but are richer in olive oil.
In the Christian world olive oil is used in the sacraments during Baptism and Anointing and many churches still burn
olive oil in the lamps. Palm Sunday is also called “Olive Sunday” and from very early times people considered the olive tree as blessed and the olive oil as holy.
During fasting periods, bread and olives form part of a day’s meal. The “Elioti”, an olive bread, is found in many bakeries
all the year round.
Olive oil is so versatile that it is used in the preparation of food, as a preservative, as a substitute for butter, as an ingredient in the production of soap and as a reliever when a few drops in the ear serve to cure earache. Homer called it “Golden Liquid”.

Description
An account of the resource
It is the passion of Hambis, the well known Cypriot engraver from the occupied village of Kontea, to spin the tales of the village, its sorrows, its beauty and its joys just like a weaver. He never drops a stitch and his ink is transformed into a dragon, a sun, a river, a fairy with a knife or a witch with a jasmine flower.
Αn extract from his illustrated folk tale “Spanos and the Forty Dragons” is the theme for the new children’s stamps issued by Cyprus Post. In total faithfulness to the style of the artist, this issue is addressed to children, the inheritors of a tradition who want to see justice prevail, the good to overcome the evil, with Spanos (the people) killing the dragons (the enemy) and thus restoring justice.(so the water of the river flows free). (Eleni Sioufta)

An account of the resource
Christmas is the most special time of the year for children. It is the time when Christmas stories are recited by the fireplace or enacted in pantomimes or nativity plays. It is a time of celebrations, of joys and anticipation as children await the arrival of Santa Claus (down the chimney) bearing gifts.
Agios Nikolaos, (Santa Claus) is the most popular of saints because of his association with Christmas. Cyprus participated in a unique exhibition featuring this saint, held in Bari, Italy, in May 2007, by sending on loan a 13th century icon of his from the Church of Agios Nikolaos tis Stegis in Kakopetria.
This year’s Christmas stamps were produced from drawings by children from elementary schools who had participated in a pancyprian competition. It is not the first time that Cyprus Post has undertaken such an initiative so as to encourage children’s interest in stamps and philately.
The images depicted on the stamps reflect the innocence and purity of children’s thoughts and how they view the Christmas festivities.

The marine environment of the Mediterranean supports some 12,000 species of fauna and flora as well as other living
organisms. The sea anemone depicted on the 43c stamp belongs to the Anthozoa class and is a water dwelling predator animal named after a terrestrial flower.
The dividing line between animal and plant is blurred and sea anemones are found to be genetically part plant part animal. They live in isolation in varying marine environments including sand and rock. They feed by catching prey such as fish.

Centuries ago, the Greeks and the Romans understood the magic of this herb. Hippocrates, (c460-377 BC) father of medicine, used it as an antiseptic and today, in Greece, it is used as a palliative for a soar throat. Greek oregano has a deeper more complicated flavour than other varieties.
At wedding ceremonies they made crowns of oregano for young couples to ward off sources that brought sadness.
Oregano became popular after the wars of the 20th century when soldiers returned home having acquired a taste for the pizza herb.

Oregano is a common specie of the Origamun dubium and belongs to the mint family of herbs. It is a perennial herb growing 20-80cm tall with 3-4mm long purple flowers that are produced in erect spikes. Sometimes it is called wild marjoram. The popular Origanum vulgare is found in commercially sold spices.
The herb brings savouriness to many cuisines and has been in use since the dawn of the human race. It is more flavourful when dried than fresh. It is also aromatic and warm and leaves a slightly bitter taste in the mouth. It can be drunk as tea for the treatment of gastrointestinal upsets and for respiratory track problems.

Description
An account of the resource
Τhe first postal service in Cyprus was established by the Austrians in 1845. In 1871 the first Ottoman post office was opened in Lefkosia and the second in Larnaka in 1873. All were closed in 1878 when a temporary British postal service was opened.
During the early years the only public transport that operated between Larnaka and Lefkosia was a horse drawn coach or mail cart. A horse service was employed to carry mail to and from other towns and a mounted postman was not required to travel for more than 100 miles per week. Mules were used in rural areas and bicycles within towns, suburbs and villages. In later years bicycles were replaced by scooters.
Ιn 1910 mail services by motor vehicles was instigated between Lemesos and Lefkosia via Kophinou and Larnaka. In 1915 a contract was entered into with the Cairo Motor Company (Lodon based) for motorized mail services covering all the towns thus heralding the end of a long epoch of mail coaches.
Towards the middle of the 20th century mail buses were put into service between major towns. Vans such as those depicted on the current stamps were introduced for the collection and distribution of bulk mail between outlying post offices in the towns and cities. Mail to private homes is delivered by postmen on small motorbikes.

Description
An account of the resource
In 30 AD, at a time of growing unrest and Jewish resistance to Roman rule, Jesus enters Jerusalem and proceeds to face the High Priests
of the Temple.
Christ’s entry into Jerusalem, riding a donkey, is an expression of humility which in today’s materialistic world is almost non-existent. In the scene, Christ and his disciples are advaning from the right while a crowd is welcoming Christ at the gates of the city with the rotunda of the Holy Sepulcher in the background.
The icon which is painted on canvas originates from the Church of Panagia Chrysaliniotissa in Lefkosia. It is currently housed at the Archbishop Makarios III Foundation Museum. In 1937, David Talbot Rice was able to discern the date to 1546 AD.

An account of the resource
Τhe Cyprus Scouts Association (C.S.A.) was founded in 1913 by N. K. Lanitis and N. Nikolaides with the help they received from the United Kingdom. It is the oldest youth organization in Cyprus. In 1961 the C.S.A. became a member of the World Scout Movement and it plays an active part in national, regional and international Scouting events.
The Scout movement is open to all boys and girls including those in the Sovereign Base Areas. They are active in all aspects of the social and cultural life of Cyprus. In 1980, the World Scout Committee awarded Savvas Kokkides the “Bronze Wolf”, the only distinction of the World Organization of the Scout Movement, for exceptional services to World Scouting.
In 2006 the members worked to assist with the refugee crisis caused by the war in Lebanon and one center accommodated 106 children who had been separated from their parents.
The Cyprus Scout Association has about 6000 active members within 54 Scout Goups.

Description
An account of the resource
Archbishop, Ethnarch and first President of the Republic of Cyprus, Makarios III was an eloquent orator with an imposing personality. He was born Michael Mouskos on 13th August 1913 in the village of Panayia in Pafos and he was admitted to Kykko monastery as a novice
monk when he was very young. In 1948 he was elected Metropolitan Bishop of Kitium and two years later Archbishop of Cyprus.
His tenure as President was far from harmonious for he led a newly independent country whose citizens had many misgivings about the constitution that had been thrust upon them. Christopher Hitchens, in his book “Hostage to History, Cyprus from the Ottomans to Kissinger, page 50”, wrote: “Cyprus got its independence unnecessarily late and under very trying and onerous conditions. Archbishop Makarios was right when he said that the agreement had created a state but not a nation”.
As President, Makarios saw the flare up of hostilities between the Greek and Turkish populations and the gradual separation of the two communities. He had his enemies who were plotting his removal and in March 1970 his helicopter was shot down as it lifted from the Αrchbishop’s Palace.
He survived the assassination attempt. Four years later, in 1974, the Greek Junta in Greece organized a coup to topple him; he managed to escape but the door was left open for Turkey to invade Cyprus and grab 37% of the land.
Makarios died on 3rd August 1977 of a broken heart.
