Romfilatelia and the Romanian Post introduce into circulation on Thursday the philatelic issue titled 'Easter 2026,' according to a Romfilatelia press release sent to AGERPRES on Wednesday.
Consisting of two postage stamps, a perforated souvenir sheet, a First Day Cover and a philatelic folder with special products in limited run printing, the images reproduced on the postage stamps illustrate an optimistic approach to Easter Holiday, in which gifts eagerly awaited, especially by children, take centre stage, alongside of a dynamic and cute bunny, the Easter Bunny.
The postage stamp with the face value of Lei 5.50 features an image of a red egg formed from tulip petals, from which the long-eared head of the Easter Bunny subtly peeks out.
The postage stamp with the face value of Lei 16 features a bunny courier carrying a red egg made from a red tulip flower.
The souvenir sheet, bearing the postage stamp with the face value of Lei 32, depicts eggs painted in various colors, conceived in the same concept: the egg is represented as a tulip flower. A mischievous bunny appears to be announcing that the gift eggs have arrived.
The First Day Cover features an image of an Easter Bunny wearing an advertising arrangement with a wish-message: PACE ON EARTH!
The issue is available as of 12 March, Thursday, in the network of Romfilatelia shops in Bucharest, Brasov, Cluj-Napoca, Iasi, Timisoara as well as online.
The exact origin of the Easter Bunny is not known, some historians considering it to be of German Lutheran origin. This argument is also supported by the fact that, just as Santa Claus has an official residence in Lapland, the Easter Bunny is said to have its residence in Germany, in the town of Ostereistedt - Easter Egg Town'. Here, special staff respond to the thousands of letters sent by children with a standard greeting card, accompanied by cardboard pieces from which an Easter garland and two coloring postcards can be made.
The symbol of the Easter Bunny has been transformed into an industry: millions of stuffed bunnies accompany gifts eagerly awaited by young and old alike.
