Armenian Genocide 100th anniversary, Cyprus - Armenia joint stamp issue
A special stamp of the Melkonian Orphanage was released on Thursday 2 April 2015 in both Cyprus and Armenia as a symbol of the painful memories and the unresolved injustice for the victims of the Armenian Genocide.
Armenian Representative in the Cyprus Parliament Vartkes Mahdessian first shared the idea of issuing a stamp in February 2014, with the late Tasos Mitsopoulos, then Minister of Communications.
A year later, this idea became a reality.
The image on the stamp is based on a photograph taken in the 1940’s by the late Haigaz Mangoian, a renowned photographer, himself a refugee, whilst the trees in the foreground were planted by the orphans in memory of their parents.
Прогулка по Ларнаке Кипр | Walk in Larnaca Cyprus
Прогулка по Ларнаке, все достопримечательности города.
-Площадь Европы начинается с Проспекта Афин. Ее украшают старинные постройки времен колонизации острова Британией (1881 год). В это время город Ларнака был крупнейшим и одним из важнейших портовых центров на Кипре, поэтому захватить именно эту территорию было для англичан стратегически важным вопросом. Свое название площадь получила в честь солидарности Кипра с Евросоюзом.
-Памятник Зенону Китийскому или Зенону-стоику, известному уроженцу Ларнаки и основателю философской школы стоицизма, стоит на набережной Финикудес, на площади Европы, рядом с муниципальным культурным центром. Его именем также названа одна из гимназий города. Трехметровая скульптура философа установлена на высоком белом постаменте с памятной табличкой, которая сообщает, кто здесь запечатлен и его годы жизни. Зенон изображен в классической греческой одежде, такое ощущение, что в его руке должен быть свиток с записями. Философ стоит с задумчивым взглядом, немного нагнув голову вперед, как будто собирается выдвинуть очередную теорию.
-Marina, пристань Ларнаки - здесь вы можете отправиться на экскурсию на яхте, или просто посетить ресторан, который расположен на борту яхты. Это также приятное место для прогулки и красивых фото. Это место расположено рядом с Финикудес - прогулочной территорией рядом с морем.
-Пляж и набережная Кимона (Финикудес) – красивейшее и популярнейшее место отдыха и прогулок города. Своё имя набережная Ларнаки получила в честь афинского генерала Кимона. Он освободил город от персов в далеком 449 году до н.э., погибнув в последней схватке.
-Памятник жертвам геноцида армян 1915 года находится в северной части набережной Финикудес, около марины Ларнаки. Установлен в мае 2008 года. Место для памятника выбрано не случайно, поскольку именно здесь сто с лишним лет тому назад высаживались на берег армянские беженцы, спасаясь от османских властей.
-На набережной Ларнаки, на высоком пьедестале установлен бюст античного героя Кипра – Кимона Афинского. Он прославился в качестве полководца и политического деятеля Афин периода греко-персидских войн, которые происходили в V веке до нашей эры. Известная всем туристам набережная Финикудес. Пальмовая набережная - официально названа именем этого древнегреческого героя.
-Курортный город Ларнака широко известен своими историческими достопримечательностями и незабываемыми живописными местами, одним из которых является памятник Венецианский лев. Памятник в виде крылатого льва, который на протяжении многих веков является главным символом венецианского величия, установлен на Пальмовой аллее всего в нескольких десятках метров от Ларнакской крепости.
-Памятный знак в виде туристического логотипа Одессы «Якорь-сердце» открыли в Ларнаке мэр Одессы Геннадий Труханов и бизнесмен и совладелец лого Иван Липтуга.
-Ларнакский форт считался некогда одним из основных оборонительных сооружений города. А сейчас это место является историческим памятником Средневековья и настоящей приманкой для туристов. Первую крепость на этой территории построили еще Лузиньяны в конце XIV столетия для защиты городской гавани от морских набегов. Позже, когда власть на Кипре захватили турки, укрепление буквально получило вторую жизнь – в 1625 году его полностью перестроили. Но со временем оно утратило свою защитную функцию, и было частично разрушено.
-Мечеть Джами Кебир, как известно, является главной мечетью Ларнаки и возведена в XVI веке на месте католического храма Святой Екатерины, перестроенного в мечеть после известных событий 1571 года. Мечеть Джами Кебир доступна (когда нет служб, конечно) для всех туристов, как мужчин, так и женщин
-Множество паломников устремляются в Церковь Св. Лазаря, одну из важнейших святынь на Кипре. Каждый хочет прикоснуться к мощам библейского Лазаря, воскрешенного Иисусом Христом на четвертый день после смерти. Святой Лазарь, принесший в Ларнаку христианство, считается целителем и покровителем города, а местные жители, в благодарность за исцеление, приносят в храм восковые фигурки. За свою историю это красивейшее архитектурное сооружение выдержало немало многовековых перипетий.

St. Katherines Greek Orthodox Church
Redondo Beach, California
As Orthodox Christian people living in one of the freest societies, we need to be aware that many of our brothers and sisters in Christ live in places where they cannot enjoy the freedoms we sometimes take for granted. Some of our brethren even endure military conflict and loss of life and property. Such is the case with our brethren on the island nation of Cyprus. On July 20, 1974, Turkish forces invaded northern Cyprus. One third of the total population was displaced and to this day some 1,618 Cypriots (including 4 Americans) are
missing. Unfortunately, atrocious human rights violations and efforts to ethnically cleanse the occupied part of the island have received very little international attention. The Harry S. Truman chapter of AHEPA is proud to
sponsor today's memorial service for those who perished during the brutal Turkish incursion into Cyprus.

Sourp Magar Armenian Monastery February 2014
Musique: Almineria's aria, lascia ch'io pianga
The monastery of Sourp Magar is situated at a height of 510m above sea level on the northern slopes of the Pentadaktylos / Besparmakmountains.
Sourp Magar means St Makarios the Blessed. Who this St Makarios was is unknown, but it is thought to be either a 4th century Coptic hermit who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, or another 4th century hermit who was a pupil of St Anthony of the desert. The feast days of both these saints are observed by the Armenian Church on the 1st May. It is also referred to as the Monastery of Mary.
The monastery was first established about 1000AD as a Coptic (Egyptian Christian) monastery, and came into the hands of the Armenians about the 15th century. The exact date and circumstances of the transfer are unknown. Close relations between the oriental Apostolic Churches such as the Armenian, Syrian and Ethiopian churches, began soon after the Council of Chalcedon in 451AD.
Traditionally, Christianity was brought to Armenia by the Apostle Bartholomew, and Thaddeus, one of the seventy. In 301AD, Armenia became the first country in the world to proclaim Christianity as the established religion.
Sourp Magar has been a religious centre for Armenians for centuries, the quiet surroundings providing a haven for clergymen and laymen alike. The Armenian community in Nicosia used it as a summer retreat, and it became a stopover for Armenian pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem.
The upheavals in the Ottoman empire at the beginning of the 20th century resulted in the arrival of thousands of Armenian refugees on the island, and the monastery opened its doors to orphans and to those in need. It also helped feed the hungry by developing farming on the monastery's lands which ran to around 3000 acres.
Although the last monks left in the early 20th century, right until 1974 the monastery remained a favourite place for Armenian families and schools to visit, as its grounds were particularly pleasant, especially in the hot summer months.
In 1998, there was a suggestion that the monastery be converted into a hotel, but protests from the remaining Armenian communities and prevailing economic conditions made the plan a non-starter.
Today, the monastery is in ruins and has suffered at the hands of vandals. Inside the monastery enclosure you can still see the remains of an orchard with a tiny church and pilgrims' cells lining the east and south perimeter walls. It is, however, well worth a visit to soak up the atmosphere, marvel at the views or picnic in the grounds.

Papa a Cipro (5) - Limassol e la St. Mary's School
IL PAPA A CIPRO (5)
LIMASSOL e la ST.MARY'S SCHOOL
di Stefania Sboarina immagini: Adilson Ribeiro
durata: 9'50''
A Limassol, un'altra importante realtà che fa capo a un'istituzione cattolica è la St. Mary School, in centro città, gestita dalle Suore Francescane Missionarie del Sacro Cuore, giunte nel 1923, per richiesta della Custodia di Terra Santa.
Scuola dell'Infanzia e Primaria, Scuola Media Inferiore e Superiore (con le loro sezioni anglofone o greche) sono tutte ospitate nello stesso complesso... si tratta del nuovo edificio che le suore fecero costruire nel 1965, dopo che l'ambiente offerto dai Francescani di Terra Santa negli anni Venti si era rivelato troppo angusto per le sempre maggiori richieste di iscrizioni.
La situazione politica e l'invasione della Turchia nel 1974 causarono un forte calo: più di 200 alunne turche partirono e altre famiglie lasciarono l'isola per cercare rifugio in altri paesi. Ma dopo il calo degli anni 70 la scuola ha rapidamente ripreso il numero elevato di iscritti e oggi ne conta circa 1000. Solo 145 i cattolici, la maggioranza è greco-ortodossa, un 2% sono musulmani.
Non c'è fanatismo qui a scuola - dice Sr. Josephin Vrahimi, la direttrice - quello che cerchiamo di fare qui è di vivere ognuno quello che crede e di viverlo bene. Non vogliamo fare proselitismo, ma che ognuno viva la sua fede in presenza di Dio. Ogni mattina ci troviamo qui tutti (la scuola secondaria, professori e alunni) e facciamo la preghiera del mattino. Ogni settimana la facciamo in una lingua diversa. E ci sono anche dei musulmani che si uniscono alla preghiera, e che cantano alla Madonna ....
Una solida formazione culturale, umana e spirituale insieme, è alla base del progetto educativo della Saint Mary's School, che è all'avanguardia soprattutto nella didattica linguistica. Quattro gli idiomi quotidiamante insegnati: inglese, neogreco, francese e italiano. Con la possibilità di accedere a specifici esami di certificazione della buona conoscenza della lingua per poter proseguire gli studi all'estero.
Apertura, tolleranza, voglia di incontro e di dialogo nelle giovani generazioni cipriote ... anche quando la storia del proprio paese sembra far prevalere chiusura e divisione. Nei confronti della zona nord sinceramente io vedo un'apertura che mi sorprende - dice il prof. Pigro, docente di italiano alla St. Mary School. - Non c'è questa diffidenza, come si potrebbe immaginare, tra due settori di un unico paese, divisi fino all'anno scorso da un muro che si diceva fosse l'ultimo muro a dividere una capitale europea. Quello che io vedo nei ragazzi è la voglia comunque di conoscere l'altro, di confrontarsi con l'altro, di arrivare se possibile ad una rappacificazione, ad una unificazione. Ciò che mi sorprende è che i greco-ciprioti e i turco-ciprioti si sentono appartenenti ad un' unica comunità, a prescindere dalla propria etnia o dal proprio credo. C'è anche da parte dei ragazzi l'interesse a vedere la propria patria attualmente divisa, riunificata.
Entusiaste del loro paese, della loro scuola ... e della visita del Papa, le ragazze della St. Mary School che abbiamo intervistato, tutte cristiane ortodosse...
