The festive collection of stamps themed around Santa Claus and the gifts he gives add a special touch of magic to this Christmas. These unique stamps bring tradition and holiday spirit to every mailing. Let’s let Santa Claus accompany our warmest wishes around the world!
The €0.64 stamp depicts the Nativity of Christ (18th century).
In an academic manner and with a strong western influence, the “Adoration of the Shepherds”, with the title “Birth of Christ”, is rendered from an icon of the “Dodekaorto” (Twelve-celebrations) series from the now-ruined church of Agios Iakovos the Persian in the occupied part of Nicosia and which today is found in the Church of Agios Spyridon in Nicosia.
The icon can be attributed to the hagiographic art studio of Michael Thettaloù or Thessalonicèos.
