Description
Issued in 1984, St. Lucia Scott #702–705 is a festive Christmas commemorative stamp set that blends religious symbolism and Caribbean cultural traditions. The designs reflect both the spiritual meaning of Christmas and the island’s local customs, presented in a colorful, modern illustrative style.
The 10c stamp features sorrel, a traditional Caribbean Christmas drink made from hibiscus calyces, shown alongside flowering poinsettias. The 35c value depicts a decorated altar, symbolizing church-centered Christmas observance. The 65c stamp presents a Nativity scene, with the Holy Family and angels rendered in a warm, expressive style. The $3 stamp offers a stylized, contemporary religious image emphasizing maternal protection and spiritual unity.
Each stamp is framed with decorative borders and seasonal poinsettias, creating visual continuity across the set while allowing each design to stand on its own. The combination of everyday cultural imagery with sacred themes makes the issue particularly distinctive among Caribbean Christmas stamps.
All stamps are offered mint never hinged (MNH), with full original gum, clean perforations, and fresh, vibrant color. An appealing set for collectors of Christmas issues, religious themes, or Caribbean cultural subjects.
