The 3 cent stamp features a reproduction of the 'Tempi Madonna', a Renaissance oil painting by Raphael Sanzio. This painting express a strong sentiment of anxious motherhood, enriched by great awareness. The Virgin is holding the Christ Child closely and only has eyes for him. The Child looks at the observer, drawing us into the intimate scene.

The 5 cent stamp features the 'Three Kings' stained glass window from Saint Theresa's Roman Catholic Church in Mount Roskill, Auckland.

The 10 cent stamp shows a contemporary scene of a family going to church on Christmas Day in the summer with flowering Pohutakawa trees in the background and a clear blue sky and intense sun over the ocean.
