The €0.34 and €0.41 Christmas stamps feature two Christmas symbols, the musical triangle and the Christmas decorative wreath. The musical triangle accompanies children's voices in carols, evoking memories and symbolizing joy, euphoria and good luck. The decorative Christmas wreath has long symbolized eternity, rebirth and hope, since its circular shape represents eternal life and the cycle of nature, while its branches, often made of fir, represent strength and resilience. 

The religious stamp worth €0.64 depicts the Virgin Mary holding the newborn Christ. In the humble cave of Bethlehem, the Virgin Mary, a symbol of faith, obedience, maternal love and strength, brings the God-man into the world to serve the Lord's will for the salvation of Christians.

Through these images, Cypriot stamps bring the spirit of Christmas to every destination, spreading messages of love, tradition and joy to young and old.
