Among the stamps is a purple-and-gold stamp celebrating the two most significant festivals in Islam: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.

The stamp’s gold calligraphy (by Mohamed Zakaria of Arlington, Va.) reads Eidukum mumbarak, which translates as: “May your Eid be bountiful (or blessed).”

The stamp features no actual imagery other than the calligraphy and a few words in English.

Eid al-Adha occurs in the autumn and honors Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son Isaac on God’s command. As part of the holiday, Muslims who can afford it are expected to sacrifice their best domestic animal (cow, goat, camel, sheep, etc., depending on the region).

It isn't new. This was issued in 2001.
