Nativity Forever First Class Postage Stamp U.S. Holy Family Holiday Christmas Sheets (20 Stamps) (Booklet of 20 stamps)

This is for 20 stamps total (1 booklet). On November 3, 2016, in Washington DC, the U.S. Postal Service issued the Nativity stamp (Forever) in one design, in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) booklet of 20 stamps (Item 681200). The Postal Service celebrates Christmas with a new stamp featuring a traditional Nativity scene. The stamp art depicts a peaceful yet powerful image of the Holy Family silhouetted against a dawn sky. The baby Jesus lies in a straw-filled manger in the center of the picture with Mary kneeling to the right and Joseph standing to the left, holding a lantern. A bright star shines over the scene. The Gospel of Luke relates how Mary and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem to register for the census decreed by the Roman emperor. The Gospel says: “And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.” Art director Greg Breeding designed the stamp with original art by Nancy Stahl. This listing is for one book of 20 stamps.
