Honor a joyous holiday and those who celebrate with this Hanukkah stamp from the U.S. Postal Service®.
The stamp features an ink drawing of a hanukiah, the 9-branch candelabra used only on this occasion. The hanukiah’s irregular lines suggest a more human presence, and its white branches are set against a blue background to evoke the traditional colors of Hanukkah.
Art director Antonio Alcalá designed and illustrated the stamp art.
The Hanukkah stamp is being issued as a Forever® stamp. This Forever stamp will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail® one-ounce price.
