Myths and Legends : 2022 Jersey

2022-Mar-16 Jersey – Europa Stories & Myths - The issue focuses on ghost stories which have shaped Jersey’s history and culture. Two Europa stamps are included in the set and have been printed using spot UV ink, which means that elements of the stamp illustrations take on an eery glow under ultraviolet light.

The six Jersey ghost stories depicted on the stamps are: The Vioge of Crack Ankle Lane, The Woman in Black, The Belenji, The Bells of Les Minquiers, The Bride and Groom of Gorey Castle and The Soldiers of Vinchelez Lane. The two Europa stamps (The Belenji and The Bride and Groom of Gorey Castle) have also been presented together in a Souvenir Miniature Sheet. Stamps designed by artist Jensine Eckwall, Queens NY
