The fifth U.S. Christmas stamp illustrates the "Madonna and Child With Angels" by painter Hans Memling, which hangs in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.
On November 1, 1966, the US Post Office issued its first Traditional Christmas stamp, picturing the Madonna and Child with Angels, by Hans Memling.
That stamp was very popular and over 1.1 billion were printed. The design was so popular, it was used again on the Christmas stamp of 1967
