As the year-end festivities approach, POST Luxembourg has announced the issuance of a series of two special Christmas 2020 ("Noël 2020") stamps, part of the proceeds of which will go to the Œuvre Nationale de Secours Grande-Duchesse Charlotte, as well as a special postmark.
The Christmas 2020 stamp series, designed by Luxembourgish artist MarieIsabelle Callier, reflects the magic of Christmas in emblematic places in Luxembourg City.
As every year, POST Philately has chosen a special process for finishing the year-end stamps, which this year involves a glitter varnish.
The issuance of these special stamps also pursues a charitable purpose: for each special stamp sold, POST Luxembourg pays 10 to 15 cents to the Œuvre Nationale de Secours Grande-Duchesse Charlotte.
In order to allow philatelists and collectors to obtain an exclusive postmark directly with the Christmas 2020 stamp, the POST Philately service will be present this Monday, 14 December 2020 from 13:00 to 17:00 at the Espace POST in Luxembourg-Gare (20 Rue de Reims). This event is being held in strict compliance with current health criteria. Luxembourg artist Marie-Isabelle Callier will also be present to sign letters and postcards. The author and illustrator of several children's books will also present and dedicate her latest book "Mystères aux Musées", published by Les Amis des Musées asbl.
The Christmas 2020 stamps are now available in the POST Philately online store, at the stamp counter in Cloche d'Or (13 Rue Robert Stümper) and in all post offices.
