Description
An account of the resource
Τhe murals depicted on this set of three stamps originate from the Chapel of Agios Themonianus (a corruption of the name Agios Euphemianos) from the village of Lysi, now in the Turkish occupied part of Cyprus. The Chapel lies a mile to the south of the village beside a cluster of eucalyptus trees. It is not known if the trees still exist).
From a dedicatory inscription it is surmised that the Chapel was a dependency of a long lost monastery the abbot of which had paid for its erection and for the paintings sometime in the 14th century.
The paintings were looted and the Chapel plundered after Turkey invaded Cyprus in 1974. In 1983 a representative of the well known Menil Foundation Inc. of Texas found the paintings in a flat of a Turkish dealer in Munich. In a court case that ensued the Republic of Cyprus proved irrefutably that the murals came from the looted Chapel in Lysi. The Orthodox Church of Cyprus was recognized
as the legal owner of the murals and reached an agreement with the Menil Foundation whereby they would restore the works and hold them for a period of 15 years from 1st January 1986.
The 40c stamp depicts Christ Pantocrator, the Supplication, the Preparation of the Throne and the angels as installed in the Dome of the Chapel in Houston which was specifically built with the exact dimensions of the plundered Chapel.
The murals were repatriated to Cyprus in 2012 and are now held at Archbishop Makarios III Foundation in Lefkosia.

An account of the resource
Τhe fresco depicting the Birth of Christ originates from the small Church of the Archangel Michael in the village of Vyzakia. The church contains one of most interesting series of wall paintings of the 16th century all of which introduce Venetian iconographical elements. The paintings are highly expressive but naïve. Note the shepherd at the lower left hand side; he looks more like an actor straight out of some play.
A visitor to the Church can marvel at some sixteen paintings that have survived the passage of centuries.

An account of the resource
The icon of the Birth of Christ comes from the church of Panayia Asproforousa, meaning Blessed Virgin Mary of the white robes because of the white robes worn by the monks of the Premontre Order who lived in the medieval Abbey of Bellapaix.
The Apse and the porch of the church were originally adorned with frescoes. Cornelius van Bruyn, a Dutchman, arrived
in Cyprus on 19th April 1683 and on visiting the monastery called De-la-Paix, wrote that six or seven ancient paintings adorned the walls of the church.
In the 30c stamp the Virgin is depicted sitting on the side of the wooden crib while Joseph is shown kneeling on the other side. The three shepherds are shown behind the crib. The stylistic features attributed to the icon flourished in Cyprus at the end of the 18th century and during the 19th.
Enclaved persons managed to retrieve the icon from the village that was occupied during the Turkish invasion of 1974. It is now kept in the temporary see of the Diocese of Keryneia in Lefkosia.

Description
An account of the resource
In 2006 the Holy Church of Agiou Eleftheriou, a dependency of Machairas monastery in Lefkosia, celebrated the bicentenary of its construction. The church, hidden from the sights of passers by on Onasagoras street in the old walled city of Lefkosia, was built in secret in 1806 when Ottoman rule forbade the building of churches. It lies three feet below street level and is surrounded by houses. A visitor stands in awe before its walls that are covered with frescoes from Byzantine times.
What distinguishes the Holy Church of Agiou Eleftheriou is the authentic copy of the image of the Virgin Mary of Machairas, the original of which had been saved and kept in the church when fire had threatened and gutted the greater part of Machairas monastery in 1892.
Another characteristic of the church is the manner in which the icons have been placed in the iconostasis. The icon of the Virgin is mounted on the right of the sanctuary door instead of the left, as otherwise the Virgin would have had her back turned to Christ whose icon is mounted on the left. The iconostasis which dates from 1868 has twelve icons from the 19th and 20th centuries. The icon of Agios Eleftherios was donated by Archbishop Kyprianos of Cyprus who was martyred by the Ottomans in 1821.
Church services are held on Sundays but during weekdays the gates on the street are closed unless a priest from the monastery of Machairas is present. A special service is held on 15th December on the name day of Agios Eleftherios.

All the icons of the Christmas set originate from the Church of Panagia Katholiki which stands in the middle of the village of Pelendri. They date from the very early 16th century. The village lies south east of the village of Kato Amiandos in the Troodos mountains.
The 68c stamp depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child on her left arm while Christ himself is raising his right hand in a gesture of benediction. In his left hand he is holding a parchment roll.
Together with the icons of Archangels Gabriel and Michael, they form part of the eleven icons on the epistyle of the iconostasis. All the icons are executed in the Italo-Byzantine style. ( Andreas & Judith Stylianou, The Painted Churches of Cyprus )

Τhe 22c stamp illustrating details from the representation of the Birth of Christ originates from the 16th century icon belonging to the small shed like Church of Agios Nikolaos in the village of Klonari in Lemesos.
Nearly all the walls of the Church are covered with paintings from the 16th century and the iconostasis is a fine example of carved and painted woodwork of about 1620.(Rupert Gunnis, Historic Cyprus p.275)

Τhe mural depicting the Birth of Christ comes from the Cathedral of Agios John the Theologian, in Lefkosia, the foundation stone of which was laid on 30th April 1662 by Archbishop Niceforos. The church is built in an area where an earlier monastery existed during the Frankish Period (1192-1489) and records indicate that it existed in 1345.
The mural, situated after the second transverse arch,is in the first row of the Christological cycle that begins with the Annunciation and followed by the Nativity, and the Circumcision and ends in the fourth row with the Flagellation and the Via Crusis.(Vassilia Gregoriou, A Guide to St. John’s Cathedral, Lefkosia)

Both icons were among many items that were looted after the Turkish invasion of 1974 and only after a great deal of effort by the Republic of Cyprus and the Church were they repatriated from Germany in November 2008.
The 51c stamp depicts the Guiding Virgin (Panagia Odigitria) from the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Lysi. The icon is attributed to Chrysanthos of Ayios Eraklidios School and dates from the late 18th century.
The 22c stamp depicts the Virgin holding the Child Christ and seated on a wooden throne. It originates from the Christ Antiphonitis Church in the village of Kalogrea in the district of Keryneia. It is dated between the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century.

Description
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.

Description
An account of the resource
Sergeant Elias Kannaouros, during the Turkish invasion in Cyprus in July 1974, serves at 211 Infantry Battalion. He left his last breath on the battlefield on August 16, 1974 near the area of "Ayios Pavlos". By 2000 Elias waited in the list of missing persons, when the bones were found and identified by the method of DNA. He was buried with military honors on October 15, 2000 in Ypsonas. On 18/09/2005 unveiled the statue in Lofou village by the Minister of Defence Kyriakos Mavronikolas and from July 17, 2008 the statue adorns the square "Marios Tokas" in Ypsonas.
Ο λοχίας Ηλίας Καννάουρος, κατά τη διάρκεια της Τουρκικής Εισβολής, στην Κύπρο, τον Ιούλιο του 1974, υπηρετά στο 211 Τάγμα Πεζικού. Άφησε την τελευταία του πνοή στο πεδίο της μάχης στις 16 Αυγούστου 1974 κοντά στην περιοχή του Αγίου Παύλου. Μέχρι το 2000 ο Ηλίας περίμενε στη λίστα των αγνοουμένων, όταν τα οστά του ανευρέθηκαν και αναγνωρίστηκαν με την μέθοδο του DNA. Κηδεύτηκε με στρτιωτικές τιμές στις 15 Οκτωβρίου του 2000 στον Ύψωνα. Στις 18-9-2005 έγιναν τα αποκαλυπτήρια του ανδριάντα του στη Λόφου από τον τότε Υπουργό Άμυνας Κυριάκο Μαυρονικόλας και από τις 17 Ιουλίου του 2008 ο ανδριάντας του κοσμεί και την πλατεία "Μάριου Τόκα" στον Ύψωνα.
