Armenia’s postal operator HayPost CJSC is participating in the annual EUROPA stamp competition dedicated to the theme “Stories & Myths” organized by PostEurop. This year Armenia has presented a stamp with the image of Goddess Astghik.
In the Armenian mythology, Astghik was the Goddess of Love, Beauty and Water. According to the Armenian myths, Astghik, an extraordinary beauty, bathed every night in the Euphrates River. To admire the beauty of the goddess, the young men lit big fires on Mount Daghonats of Taron region. Protecting herself from the eyes of others, every night Astghik covered the entire Taron Valley with fog.
The author of the stamp’s design is Indigo Branding Agency.
The postage stamp has been issued within the frames of EUROPA Annual International Competition of the Association of European Postal Operators (PostEurop). EUROPA stamps underline the development of the cooperation between European Postal Operators.
