About Holy Christmas and New Year

"One of the festive postage stamps depicts an ancient Lithuanian mythological creature - a nine-horned deer carrying celestial bodies in its horns. Various mythological sources state that the white deer escapes into the woods during the solstice and returns at Christmas. The deer takes nine days on this journey, so the deer is called a nine-horned. It is believed that it carries the sun in its horns, so the nine-horned deer symbolizes the light returned to Earth, and at the same time the most beautiful holidays of the year are brought to each house - St. Christmas.

The second postage stamp depicts a well-known holiday symbol - a gift. It is adorned with a ribbon, which seems to extend the illustration of the celestial bodies carried by the nine-horned deer depicted in the first postage stamp."
