Liechtenstein 2013 Christmas Story Theme stamps printed on platinum foil
Issue date 11 November 2013
The “Christmas 2013″ series of stamps by artist Louis Jäger depicts four scenes painted in watercolour from the traditional Christmas story familiar from the Gospels of St. Luke and St. Matthew. The brilliant yellow “Annunciation” stamp (face value CHF 0.85) tells of the Archangel Gabriel prophesying to Mary the birth of her son Jesus. This passage in the Bible is also the basis of the prayer “Ave Maria” (“Hail, Mary”). The blue stamp with a star at the centre shows the “Nativity” (face value CHF 1.00), in central Europe traditionally celebrated on Christmas Eve (24th December). Soft shades of green form the background for an angel’s annunciation of the birth of Christ to the “Shepherds and their flocks” (face value CHF 1.40). The image on the blue-and-yellow “Three Kings” stamp (face value CHF 1.90) is that of the Three Kings journeying to Christ’s crib from the East guided by a star. As for several years now in response to numerous customer requests, the stamps are again self-adhesive. Stamps are printed using the platinum hot foil stamping method.
