| Abstract: | Many collectors of Cyprus, have perhaps asked themselves how it is possible that the Highest Religious authority on the Island, Makarios, Archbishop of Nicosia, took such an active part in the "Struggle for Freedom", and on the 16th August 1960, upon achieving Independence, was honoured with the highest Civil Authority - The Presidency. The reason for this "anomaly", according to Western thinking, can be seen in a commemoration block of stamps issued on the 25th April 1966, by the Cyprus Postal Administration. |
