The 7 cent stamp features 'Nativity' - a Spanish 16th Century
Gothic Ivory carving by an unknown sculptor.
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'.
