The 1971 Christmas Issue included three stamps.
The 3 cent stamp
featured 'The Holy Night (La Santa Notte)' by Carlo Maratta. At
47mm x 40mm, this was the largest Christmas stamp issued.
The 4 cent
stamp features a stained glass window from St Luke's Anglican Church,
Havelock North, Hawke's Bay. The church was consecrated in 1874 and
escaped relatively unscathed in the 1931 earthquake.
The 10 cent
stamp was designed by E Hunter and contains a graphic symbolising the three
kings.
