This large, 80 drachma stamp (Sc #1820) is from a set of 3 "Visions of the Apocalypse" stamps issued by Greece on September 18, 1995. It depicts Angels of the Seven Churches of Asia Minor, an icon painted by Thomas Bathas. From christianity.com website, "The Book of Revelation addresses seven letters to seven churches in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey) ( Revelation 2-3). Each letter, as proclaimed by Jesus and recorded by John the Apostle, declares the triumphs and failings of the recipient churches and warns each congregation to repent."   |
