Abstract: On the 3rd November, 1964 the era of the Christmas stamp in Malta began with the issuance of the 2d, 4d, and 8d nativity scene designed by the great artist E. V. Cremona. Like the British, the Maltese have regularly issued stamps depicting the traditional Christmas scene. But is the scene correct? In particular, were there three magi, who were they and was the Star of Bethlehem really a star? [excerpt]
