Sunday Stamps: Christmas in July

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.  It is a warm muggy morning in the American Midwest, and it's time for Sunday stamps.

Each year, the US Postal Service issues a religious Christmas stamp, usually an image of the Madonna and Child.  They also issue a secular stamp or set of stamps.  The Christmas stamps for 2025 have not been issued yet, nor have they shown up on the USPS website.  So I am sharing a stamp issued last year in the fall of 2024:


This image is from the USPS website.

    I like that classical images for Christmas. Sometimes, more than the secular ones. But it depends on the year, of course.

    She looks very modern day. It's hard to tell but I thought her head might be uncovered. Or is it a light, almost sheer veil?

    I usually pick the non-religious to use, but last year the post office was out of all holiday ones, so I had to use something totally not festive! I think they had to do with the first Continental Congress!

    Nice to have a choice of the types of Christmas stamps. I would have never thought this was a 17th Century painting, as has been said she looks very modern.
