    U.S. Postal Service Delivers Happy Holidays New 2018 Forever Stamps

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE National: Roy Betts July 24, 2018 202-268-3207 [email protected] U.S. Postal Service Delivers Happy Holidays New 2018 Forever Stamps WASHINGTON — The U.S. Postal Service today unveiled four more stamps for the upcoming holiday season, as well as new releases and re-issues from recent years. The new stamps will be dedicated at first-day-of-issue events to be announced soon. Global Poinsettia Celebrate the holidays with Poinsettia, a new Global Forever stamp. This stamp can be used to mail a 1-ounce letter to any country where First-Class Mail International service is available. As with all Global Forever stamps, this stamp will have a postage value equivalent to the price of the single-piece First- Class Mail International 1-ounce machineable letter in effect at the time of use. These stamps can also be used domestically. The stamp art features a photo of a poinsettia. Taken from above, the photo captures the beauty of the green leaves, the red bracts, and the yellow flowers in the center of the plant. Poinsettias are now as much a part of the holidays as evergreens and mistletoe; tens of millions of plants are sold during the season. The art director for this stamp was William J. Gicker. Greg Breeding designed the stamp with an existing photograph by Betsy Pettet. The new Global Forever stamps are being issued in self-adhesive panes of 10.

  • Holiday Postage Avoids Seasonal Sticking Point

    Holiday Postage Avoids Seasonal Sticking Point

    Holiday postage avoids seasonal sticking point WASHINGTON – During the Christmas season, when Christmas displays and the public outcry against them get almost equal billing, the tiny postage stamp dares to push the envelope, so to speak. While some towns are battling over the use of red and green lights on city buildings, Nativity scenes in parks and what to call holiday evergreen trees, the tiny adhesive squares on billions of letters and packages this December will subtly remind postal workers and mail recipients about Christmas and other religious holidays. This year the Postal Service has issued more than 2.6 billion holiday stamps. The majority of them are called “holiday knits” featuring Christmas images that look like hand-knit evergreens, snowmen, deer and teddy bears. The rest of the seasonal stamps feature the Madonna and Child and commemorate Kwanzaa, Hanukkah and Muslim festivals. According to a 2007 press release by the Postal Service, the Madonna and Child stamp has been a U.S. tradition since 1978. What it doesn’t describe is the road it took to get there. The series actually got its start in 1966, four years after the first Christmas stamp debuted with a wreath, two candles and the words “Christmas 1962.” The first religious Christmas stamp owes its origin in part to the lobbying efforts of the late Anthony Coviello, a parishioner at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Waterbury, Conn. The 1966 stamp, “Madonna and Child With Angels,” started a trend of Christmas stamps featuring Renaissance paintings. The series was interrupted in 1977 when the Christmas stamp featured a praying George Washington.

  • Christmas Stamp Features Walters Art Museum Treasure by Raphael

    Christmas Stamp Features Walters Art Museum Treasure by Raphael

    Christmas stamp features Walters Art Museum treasure by Raphael By George P. Matysek Jr. [email protected] A Raphael masterpiece that hangs in the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore is getting national attention this holiday season as the U.S. Postal Service features the “Madonna of the Candelabra” as one of its 2011 Christmas stamps. The circular oil painting, created by the famed Renaissance artist circa 1513, shows a serene Blessed Virgin Mary holding the child Jesus. It was purchased by Henry Walters from a Vatican official in 1900, becoming the first Raphael Madonna to enter the United States. Joaneath Spicer, curator of Renaissance and Baroque art at the Walters, said the painting is especially notable for the way it combines an idealized image of Mary with a very human Jesus. Standing in front of the masterwork, Spicer pointed out that the child Jesus places a hand on his mother’s chest and exhibits a bit of mischief on his face. “You have the Christ child saying, ‘You know, it’s almost lunch time,’ “ Spicer said with a laugh. “You have that little bit of humor in there to emphasize Christ’s humanity. This is a real kid. He’s a baby and he needed to eat to grow just as a human baby does.” Mary’s gesture also touches on humanity, Spicer said, as she lovingly rests her hand on her child’s torso. “It’s wonderful the sense of touch that’s brought out,” she said. “The little Christ child is being comforted.” Contemporaries of Raphael such as Leonardo and Michelangelo tended to be more cerebral in their paintings, Spicer said.

    Nativity Forever Stamp Dedicated Today

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Crystal Essiaw Nov. 3, 2016 202.268.6350 [email protected] usps.com/news Nativity Forever Stamp Dedicated Today WASHINGTON — The U.S. Postal Service is ready for Christmas with a new Nativity Forever stamp issued today. The stamp was dedicated at Saint John’s Church in Washington, DC, and is available nationwide today. The public is asked to share the news using the hashtag #NativityStamps. “Today we honor one of the most symbolic images in the world. An image that for Christians from all walks of life celebrates the story of the Nativity – the birth of Jesus Christ. This beautiful stamp includes a brilliant star that stands out in both its illustration and in its meaning of Christmas,” said U.S. Postal Service Corporate Communications Vice President Janice Walker. “There are no greater traditions than those of the holidays, and the Postal Service is happy to help you celebrate and honor your traditions.” Joining Walker in dedicating the stamps were former U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors member Louis Giuliano; St. John’s Church Rector Reverend Dr. Luis León; and Florida Avenue Baptist Church Pastor Adamio Charles Boddie. U.S. Postal Service Shipping Solutions Manager John Samuels III served as master of ceremonies. “During my time with the Board of Governors I witnessed the launch of a stamp series that spoke deeply to my Christian faith,” said Giuliano. “The first stamp, aptly named Holy Family, was issued in 2012 and illustrated the journey of Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus into Egypt. In 2014, I was honored to stand here in Saint John’s Church to help dedicate the second stamp in the series, Christmas Magi, which illustrated the story of the Three Wise Men.” “It is with great pleasure that I welcome the United States Postal Service back to St.

    Christmas 1971 Date of Issue: 13 OCTOBER 1971

    STAMP HISTORY Christmas 1971 Date of issue: 13 OCTOBER 1971 The Post Office first issued Christmas stamps in 1966, so by 1971 such stamps were expected by the public to use on Christmas mail. It was agreed that a Christmas stamp be issued from the very beginning of discussions on the 1971 stamp programme. The Stamp Advisory Committee (SAC) first discussed the 1971 programme on 21 October 1969 when J R Baxter, a member of the Operations and Overseas Department (OOD) and Secretary of the SAC, proposed stamps marking the bi-centenary of the birth of Walter Scott, the 50th anniversary of the Northern Ireland Parliament and another in the architecture series. It was not until 6 May 1970 that the SAC discussed the Christmas issue deciding on a religious theme and that an air letter would also be issued. INSTRUCTIONS TO ARTISTS On 11 September the Committee agreed the ‘Instructions to artists’, issued to invited stamp designers as a guide to requirements and conditions. On 17 September invitations were sent to John Sutherland Hawes, Julian Gibb and Rauri McLean to submit designs for three special postage stamps and a commemorative air letter to be issued in November 1971. The instructions stated that the stamps were to have a religious theme but this could be either the artist’s own work or depict a religious tapestry or sculpture. Stamps depicting the traditional crib scene, the shepherds, the wise men and the angels had already been issued and so a different approach was required for at least two of the stamps.
