Issued by the United States in 1970, this 8-cent Christmas stamp features a detail from the painting Angels by the Master of St. Lucy Legend, housed in the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C. The stamp captures two celestial angels — one playing a violin and another holding a scroll — rendered in vibrant medieval colors and intricate detail. Celebrating both art and faith, it marks one of the earliest U.S. Christmas stamps to reproduce a Renaissance masterpiece, symbolizing peace, harmony, and divine music during the festive season.
