Day of the Dead Stamps – Forever First Class Postage Stamps

Day of the Dead Stamps
Forever 82￠ | Sheet Stamp Format

With the release of these four stamps, the U.S. Postal Service celebrates Day of the Dead, an increasingly popular holiday in the United States.

Each of the pane’s five identical rows includes four colorful stamps featuring several iconic elements of a traditional Day of the Dead?ofrenda, or offering. Stylized, decorated “sugar skulls” are personalized as four family members, one per stamp: a child with a hair bow, a father sporting a hat and mustache, a mother with curled hair, and another child. 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 adorning their shared vertical borders are marigolds (cempazuchitles), the most popular Day of the Dead flower. The vibrant colors of the flowers and other embellishments, along with the white of the sugar skulls, stand out brightly from the stamps’ black background.

The?Day of the Dead?stamps are being issued as Forever? stamps. These Forever stamps will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail? one-ounce rate.
