This beautiful 1980 Christmas Island souvenir sheet titled “The Midnight Clear” captures the spiritual essence of the season through angelic imagery. The upper trio of stamps depicts serene angels — two playing harps flanking the central scene of the Virgin Mary with the infant Jesus, all set against a starry night. The lower set portrays scenes of peace and goodwill: an angel watching over a sleeping soldier, a couple in prayer, and an angel guiding children of diverse backgrounds. The background inscription, “Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, from Heaven’s all-gracious King,” reinforces its message of universal harmony. A celestial border of angels encircling the Earth completes this radiant Christmas design.
