This 1 penny stamp from Ghana, issued in 1977, celebrates the Christmas season with a modernist depiction of the Nativity. The artwork shows the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus, surrounded by the Three Wise Men beneath a radiant star. The vivid design uses soft geometric forms and bright, overlapping colors—orange, blue, green, and gold—to convey both spirituality and warmth. It reflects the universal message of peace and joy associated with Christmas, interpreted through contemporary African design sensibilities.
