A beautiful 1974 Christmas issue from Vatican City, this three-value set showcases distinct artistic interpretations of the Nativity story. The L.15 features the radiant “E La Luce Fu” (“And There Was Light”), symbolizing the divine creation light. The L.50 depicts the Annunciation with an angel appearing before Mary in a bold woodcut style. The L.90, the high value, presents an elegant textile-inspired African Nativity motif—an early example of multicultural Christian art on Vatican stamps. A meaningful thematic set prized by Christmas, religious-art, and Vatican specialists alike.
