Description

The U.S. Postal Service celebrates one of the most beloved stories of the Nativity with an evocative and elegant new stamp, Christmas Magi. The stamp art illustrates the traditional tale of the Magi, who came bearing gifts for Jesus. The three regal figures sit atop a trio of bedecked and harnessed camels, the animals almost at the summit of a small hill. Guiding them is a large, dazzling star shining in the sky. The colors in the sky range from a rose near the horizon, darkening to a rich purple at the top, suggesting that the travelers are moving through the desert at dawn. The figures are silhouetted against the background, with the details of their headdresses and the camels' saddles just visible in the brightening light. The star, located in the upper left-hand corner of the picture, is a brilliant white. This listing is for a double-sided booklet of 20 forever stamps.
