Liverpool Cathedral ‘honoured’ to be on Christmas stamp

She added: “I think what the stamp does, with the ice skaters out the front of the Cathedral, actually gives something of a magical Christmas time with children, and to come in and then see the cribs, and to experience the lighting of the tree, makes you think more about something beyond ourselves.”

The illustration, created by British artist Judy Joel, will be displayed as an enlargement in the cathedral over the festive season.

Dr Jones said Liverpool Cathedral would be sending out its own Christmas cards this year with the stamp to “give thanks for this honour”.

“One of the sad things now is that lots of people don’t send Christmas cards in the post, they send electronic ones,” she added.

The festive period is a busy time of year for the largest cathedral in Britain, with the return of the cathedral’s annual lightshow, and Sunday carol services attracting up to 900 people at a time.
