Day of the Dead Stamps 💀
With the release of four colorful new stamps in 2021, the United States Postal Service celebrates Day of the Dead. The stamp art features several iconic elements of a traditional Day of the Dead “ofrenda,” or offering, which honors departed relatives as well as heroes. Stylized, decorated “sugar skulls” are personalized as four family members, one per stamp. The lit candles flanking each sugar skull are beacons to guide deceased loved ones on their annual return journey to the land of the living. Dotting each stamp and embellishing their shared vertical borders are marigolds (“cempasúchil”), the most popular Day of the Dead flower. Luis Fitch designed and illustrated the stamps. Antonio Alcalá was the art director.
