The 3 cent stamp features a reproduction of the 'Tempi Madonna', a
Renaissance oil painting by Raphael Sanzio. This painting express a strong
sentiment of anxious motherhood, enriched by great awareness. The Virgin is
holding the Christ Child closely and only has eyes for him. The Child looks
at the observer, drawing us into the intimate scene.
The 5 cent
stamp features the 'Three Kings' stained glass window from Saint
Theresa's Roman Catholic Church in Mount Roskill, Auckland.
The
10 cent stamp shows a contemporary scene of a family going to church on
Christmas Day in the summer with flowering Pohutakawa trees in the
background and a clear blue sky and intense sun over the ocean.
