This 1966 Christmas issue from Vatican City beautifully depicts the Nativity of Christ, inscribed NATIVITAS D.N.I. CHRISTI with the Roman year MCMLXVI. The design, by R. Scorzelli, presents a serene portrayal of Mary, Joseph, and the Infant Jesus in a sacred grotto setting. Issued at 55 Lire, it carries both devotional and artistic value, reflecting the Vatican’s tradition of celebrating Christmas through sacred art. A meaningful addition for collectors of Vatican stamps, Christmas themes, and religious iconography, this issue embodies faith and history in miniature form.
