It has almost become a tradition for the former Bishop of Innsbruck, Dr Reinhold Stecher, to design a stamp with a Christmas motif for the Austrian Post Office. For the fourth time now, this keen hobby painter has taken up his brush and palette and created the picture that decorates this year's Advent stamp. It shows the most famous symbol of Dr. Stecher's home town Innsbruck, the Goldenes Dachl, next to an illuminated Christmas tree, bathed in a peaceful aura that brilliantly interprets the warm atmosphere of the period leading up to Christmas.
