Athens - A 14th century Byzantine icon that was stolen from a monastery in northern Greece 30 years ago and ended up in the hands of a London-based art collector was returned to Athens, the Culture Ministry said Thursday.

The painting, which depicts Christ being taken down from the cross, disappeared from a monastery in the northern town of Serres in
1978.

According to a report in the daily Kathimerini newspaper, Greek authorities traced its whereabouts in 2002 when a British collector, who is reportedly of Greek origin, attempted to sell it.
