The 11 cent stamp continues the church window theme with a modern (circa 1960) window 'the Resurrected Christ' from Saint Joseph's Catholic Church in Grey Lynn, Auckland. The window was designed by abstract artist, Milan Mrkusich.

The 18 cent stamp continues the Christmas Carol theme with a graphic design inspired by 'Hark the Herald Angels Sing'.
