The 7 cent stamp features a preparative drawing of 'The
Holy Family' by Italian painter Antonio Allegri Correggio.
The
16 cent stamp features a stained glass window from the Church of Saint
Michael and All Angels in Dunedin. The window features an abstract design
with the Madonna and Child.
The 23 cent stamp continues the
Christmas Carol theme with 'Partridge in a Pear Tree' from 'The
Twelve Days of Christmas' - an English Christmas carol which enumerates
a series of increasingly grandiose gifts given on each of the twelve days
of Christmas.
