The Word becoming flesh or the Son of Almighty God being conceived in the womb of Mother Mary and being born to this world in the form of a human is celebrated as Christmas by Christians all over the world. Christmas brought the message of peace to the world. Glory to heaven and peace to the people on earth was the first Christmas greeting. Peace is born as a result of human compassion within the hearts of people. The life of Jesus Christ who took the form of a human is a profile of love and human compassion. Humanity is the supreme symbol of such kind and benevolent people. The theme "Make way to the freshness to humanity that the birth of Christ heralds" was selected to create these stamps taking in to consideration the quality of humanity which is celebrated each year during Christmas.
