A beautifully engraved single-color red stamp from Vatican City, depicting the Nativity scene with Mary, Joseph, and the Infant Jesus, watched by shepherds and animals beneath a mountainous Bethlehem backdrop. The Latin inscription “Nativitas D.N.I. Christi” emphasizes its religious and liturgical significance. Printed in rich line-engraving, the design showcases fine shading and classic mid-century Vatican artistry. Issued in 1965 (MCMXV), this Christmas commemorative is popular among both thematic (Religion/Christmas) and Vatican specialists. Well-centered examples with fresh gum are especially desirable for exhibition pages.
