On the Official First Day Cover, the three magi follow the shining star toward Bethlehem. More stars spell out the words Christmas and Noël in the skies above the magi.
In a departure from past Christmas issues that have reproduced Old Master paintings, this stylish envelope and domestic stamp combine to tell the story of Christ’s birth through simple, colourful imagery and rich symbolism evocative of traditional folk art.

The Christmas Star is repeated in a pictorial cancellation. The stamp is postmarked in St. Joseph, Manitoba.
NOTIFICATION
Few stories have inspired as many creative interpretations as the Nativity. For centuries, artists have used the methods and media of their time to express their vision of the birth of Christ.
This year’s stamp, designed by Montréal-based Paprika and illustrated by Daniel Robitaille, employs the simple but rich symbolism of traditional folk art to revitalize the essential elements: the Holy Family, their humble accommodations, the makeshift crib and the heralding star of Bethlehem. Imagery on the Official First Day Cover continues the story, showing the intrepid Magi following the star to seek the Infant King. Warm colours evoke a sense of family intimacy and peace that befit the season.
