The very first Easter Stamps issued by Independent Guyana in 1968

Pair of the first EASTER Postage Stamps issued by Independent Guyana.

This pair of 5c and 25c Postage Stamps were the first EASTER Postage Stamps issued by the Guyana Post Office in 1968.

It depicts Jesus Christ on the cross in a darkened sky floating over a body of water complete with a boat and fishermen. Although it is a depiction of the crucifixion, it is devoid of nails, blood, and a crown of thorns, because, according to Dalí, he was convinced by a dream that these features would mar his depiction of Christ.

Also in a dream, the importance of depicting Christ in the extreme angle evident in the painting was revealed to him.
