250th anniversary of first Manx prayer book
Isle of Man Post Office say this year's Christmas stamp will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the first prayer book to be published in Manx Gaelic.
The set of five Manx Christmas Prayer Book stamps have been designed by local artist Julia Ashby-Smyth.

The words and images themselves draw upon an extensive history of the Manx Prayer Book.
