The Holy Family stamp, first issued in 2012, celebrates Christmas
with a scene from the Nativity story that reminds us of the joys of the
season: family, togetherness, and the birth of the baby Jesus. It
continues the U.S. Postal Service's tradition of issuing beautiful and
timeless Christmas stamps and will be a treasured addition to cards and
letters sent during this season of goodwill and sharing.
Working
together, art director William J. Gicker, designer Greg Breeding, and
artist Nancy Stahl created an evocative image of the Holy Family. The
stamp illustration shows Joseph leading a donkey that carries Mary and
Jesus, guided by a star shining in the twilight of a desert sky.
The Holy Family
stamp is being issued as a Forever® stamp. Forever stamps are always
equal in value to the current First-Class Mail® one-ounce rate.
Made in the USA.
