For the first time, the 1970 Christmas issue had multiple stamps to match
the principal overseas and domestic postage rates.
The 2½ cent
stamp features the central detail from 'Adoration of the Child' by
Correggio. The 3 cent stamp features 'The Nativity', one of six
stained glass windows from the First Presbyterian Church in Invercargill,
gifted in memory of William and Eliza Asher. The 10 cent stamp features a
stylised graphic of the tower of the Roman Catholic Church, Sockburn,
Christchurch which was built in the 1960s. |
