The Christmas stamp issued by the Austrian Postal Administration in 1985 depicts an excellent work of art that is characteristic of many sculptures of the late Gothic period in Salzburg. The work shows Mary and Joseph who protectively embrace the new-bornchild. Little angels have joined them and, in the background, the Bethlehem stable is outlined. Attentive visitors of Salzburg´s centre will note figurative or heraldic reliefs made of red marble on façades, above portals and in arcade courts. Most of them date back to the 15th and 16th centuries and bear witness to the affluence of Salzburg´s citizenry at that time. It is also red marble that was used for the 100 cm high and 130 cm wide relief that served as a model for this Christmas stamp and that can be seen at the exterior wall of the house at Imbergstraße 11 in Salzburg.
