The Holy Family Stamp, first issued in 2012, celebrates Christmas with a scene from the Nativity story that reminds us of the joys of the season: family, togetherness, and the birth of Jesus. 

The stamp art depicts Joseph leading a donkey that carries Mary and the baby Jesus, guided by a star shining in the twilight of a desert sky. 

Art director William Gicker, designer Greg Breeding, and illustrator Nancy Stahl created this evocative image of the Holy Family.
