This Belgian stamp, issued in 1967, depicts the venerated statue of Notre-Dame de Hasselt (Our Lady of Hasselt), also known as Virga Jesse. The intricate engraving presents the crowned Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, both richly adorned with jewels and robes, symbolizing devotion and protection. The Latin and French inscriptions — “L’Image Miraculeuse de N.D. de Hasselt nommée Virga Jesse” — emphasize the miraculous reputation of the image. The delicate scrollwork and gothic border highlight Belgium’s artistic engraving tradition, making this issue a notable example of mid-20th-century religious philately.
