Information Service of RESURRECTION ON POSTAL STAMPS The Post/Telegraph/Telephone Enterprise of Serbia, actually "Jugomarka" (Yugoslav Stamps) issued a series of suitable postal stamps dedicated to the Resurrection with church-artistic motifs relating to the greatest Christian feast. The series consists of four postal stamps denominated to YUD 7, YUD 14, YUD 26,20 and YUD 28,70 respectively. Mr Slobodan Mileusnic, MA, Manager of the Museum of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Belgrade rendered expert aid in selection of the motifs, and delivered a speech on the Resurrection. The postal stamps present the Christ's Crucifixion (fresco limned in 1208 in the Church of the Most Holy Mother of God, the Monastery of Studenica); King Milutin's Winding-Sheet (embroidery, around 1300); metal reinforcements (made of gold-plated silver, wrought by a goldsmith Petar of Smederevo in 1540) on Bishop Maksim's Four Gospels (transcribed in 1512) and a red Easter egg (the only thing left after the lodgings of the Patriarchate of Pec were set on fire in 1981. Mr Radomir Bojanic, academic painter, added artistic touch to the stamps, and Mr Nenad Kilibarda, Manager of "Jugomarka" supported this project. |
