Christmas Stamp Released in Bethlehem, Georgia

On Nov. 6, 1967, the U.S. Post Office released its annual Christmas stamp in first-day-of-issue ceremonies in Bethlehem, Ga. The stamp's image is based on the painting "Madonna and Child with Angels," which hangs in the National Gallery of Art. The painting was by Hans Memling, a Flemish master of the Renaissance.
