Canada Issues Eid Stamp
Canada Post has released its fourth Eid stamp since 2017.
It is among several annual stamp issues marking events of importance to Canada’s culturally diverse population.
Eid festivals this year begin in early May and early July.
They are celebrated by more than one million Muslims in Canada, and millions more worldwide.
Other religious festivals recognized with stamps include Diwali, Hanukkah and Christmas.
The Eid stamp was designed by Soapbox Design of Toronto.
It features a lantern casting colorful patterns of dappled light.
Designer Richard Nalli-Petta used a montage of photographs and illustrations to create layers of texture and background colour in the stamp.
