Christmas Stamps 2007

Lippo di Dalmasio - Madonna and Child (1st Class Stamp 2007)Royal Mail has gone all religious again this Christmas with two Madonnas and Child - one by William Dyce and the other by Lippo di Dalmasio (shown) - and four angels commissioned from Marco Ventura to commemorate the tercentenary of the birth of Charles Wesley, who wrote the carol Hark! The Herald Angels Sing. The angels are Peace, Joy, Goodwill and Glory. (I think Gluttony would have been more suitable.) Today is the first day of issue, so you still have time to post a first day cover. Click the title link to view the complete set.
