Luxembourg Post issued two original stamps to celebrate Christmas - one of the most important and long-awaited holidays of the year. These beautiful festival items feature a classic motif of the decorated tree. The issue designed by Anita Wünschmann represents a collage, a composite image made of individual pieces of paper and other materials.
Fragments are used in this technique to form something new, as a whole. In a period where many images are computer-generated, this traditional production of artistic motifs, where craftsmanship is clearly apparent, is not only uniquely creative, but also has the capacity to inspire observers.
Luxembourg is a country with a Christian tradition. Many families celebrate Christmas by sharing a good meal, after having attended the Christmas Eve mass on 24 December 24th and Christmas mass on December 25th. Before this many festive markets flourish in the cities of the country.
