As Romfilatelia has taught you every year, on Christmas, introduces into circulation a postage stamps issue dedicated to the Celebration of Lord\u00b4s Birth.
\nThe postage stamps issue Christmas 2009 illustrates the image of the icon of Lord\u00b4s Birth from Buna Vestire Church – St. Anthony the Great – \u201cOld Court\u201d – Bucharest.<\/p>\n

The dedication day, Buna Vestire, of the Church, was given by Mircea Ciobanu, and after the fire of 1847, the Church received its second dedication day, Saint Anthony the Great.
\nSaint Father Anthony was born in Come, in Egypt, in 251. His parents, prosperous Christian peasants, died when he was 18 years old. Hearing in the church the word of the Gospel, he gave his fortune to the poor and he secluded himself from society.
\nFor 20 years, between 285 and 306, he settled down in a deserted fortress on the right bank of the Nile. After this ascesis period, he became the spiritual father of many monks from different monastic areas of the Egypt deserts, the most famous ones being Nitria and Schitia.
\nAround 312, he settled down on Kolzim (Qolzum) mountain, close to the Red Sea border where a monastery was built.
\nUntil his death, in 356, he did not leave this place except to meet his disciples and to make a journey to Alexandria to support Saint Atanasie the Great, his disciple, in the defense of orthodoxy. The latter, after St. Anthony\u00b4s death, wrote the book \u201cAnthony\u00b4s life\u201d, a text that would become one of the fundamental papers of the monastic literature, both in the Orient and the Occident.<\/p>\n

For the documentary consultancy given in the accomplishment of this postage stamp issue, we warmly thank The Romanian Patriarchy and to the humble servants of Buna Vestire Church – St. Anthony the Great – \u201cOld Court\u201d of Bucharest.<\/p>\n

By a greeting,<\/p>\n

Should God give luck,
\nLuck and joy
\nTo all Romanians
\nAnd also wealth and cheerfulness!<\/p>\n

Romfilatelia team heartedly carols you, the stamps lovers and wishes to you all Merry Christmas!<\/p>\n
