Description: This elegant British postage stamp carries a "2nd" class domestic face value and was issued by the Royal Mail to anchor their spiritually themed millennium collection. The square stamp reproduces a striking section of a stained-glass window portraying the Virgin Mary cradling the infant Jesus Christ, surrounded by warm golden halos and deep cobalt blue glass panels. The artwork is broken up horizontally by thick, realistic black iron lead cames, capturing the true structural texture of structural leaded glass. A rich bronze silhouette of Queen Elizabeth II marks the upper left corner, while clear white text running vertically up the right edge reads "Millennium 2000/41 / St Edmundsbury Cathedral".
