This beautiful 1988 Irish Christmas stamp features a peaceful winter scene of a small countryside church illuminated on a snowy evening. Above the chapel, a star-filled sky evokes the spirit of Christmas and the traditional nativity star. The word “Nollaig”—the Irish Gaelic word for Christmas—appears prominently at the top, reflecting Ireland’s cultural heritage. Issued as part of Ireland’s annual Christmas series, the stamp combines religious symbolism with tranquil winter imagery, making it a favorite among thematic collectors of Christmas, churches, and winter landscapes.
