This 1979 Christmas Island souvenir sheet titled “The Song of Christmas” beautifully integrates art, typography, and hymn lyrics to tell the Nativity story. Each 10¢ stamp features an illuminated letter spelling out CHRISTMAS, with corresponding religious imagery: Christ Child, Herald Angels, Redeemer, Israel, Star, Three Wise Men, Manger, All He Stands For, and Shepherds Came. The lower panel of the sheet contains musical notation and lyrics explaining the meaning behind each letter, creating a harmonious blend of philately, faith, and art. Designed to resemble an illuminated manuscript, this issue is among the most beloved thematic Christmas releases from the island.
