A cover with Christmas stamps and postmarks from Germany
The Christmas stamp issued on 2-11-2018 showing Santa riding on his reindeers pulled sleigh - flying across the sky atop the town
The 2018 Christmas stamps reproduce an excerpt from the stained-glass windows of Saint Stephen’s church in Mainz, designed between 1976 and 1985 by the Russian-French artist of Jewish origin Marc Chagall. This year’s stamps follow a long tradition: the first series was launched by Diakonie Deutschland in December 1949. The stamps are also sold by parishes and local non-for-profit organisations related to Diakonie Deutschland, enabling them to directly fund their social projects. The projects funded by this initiative will have a particular focus on youth, elderly people and persons with disability.
The special postmark - makes the 200 year anniversary of the most famous Christmas carols - Silent Night !
Thanks Dustin for this wonderful cover :)
