This attractive 1977 Christmas issue from Aitutaki presents a classic Nativity scene showing the Angel announcing the birth of Christ to the shepherds. The design is issued as a se-tenant pair, with the left stamp depicting the shepherds gathered near a fire and the right stamp showing the radiant angel delivering the message. Warm golden tones and expressive religious artwork give the set a distinctive devotional aesthetic typical of Pacific Christmas issues of the 1970s. Se-tenant pairs like this are popular among thematic collectors of Christmas, Angels, and Biblical scenes. Well-centered intact pairs are especially desirable for thematic albums.
