Enjoy a serene interpretation of the Madonna and Christ child with the Christmas Madonna and Child stamp from the U.S. Postal Service®.
The artwork depicts a watchful Madonna, her head tilted toward the sleeping Christ child resting against her. She wears a blue cloak and a dark red gown, from which off-white undersleeves emerge at the elbows. A beige veil, reminiscent of a halo, covers part of her light brown hair. Her child appears partially swaddled in beige cloth. The background is brown, and a gold border frames the image.
William Gicker was the art director for the project. Greg Breeding designed the stamp and booklet.
The Christmas Madonna and Child stamp is being issued as a Forever® stamp. This Forever stamp will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail® one-ounce rate.
