Eid Mubarak !!
With the Eid (Forever) stamp, the U.S. Postal Service honors two of the most important festivals in the Islamic calendar: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. On these days, Muslims wish each other Eid mubarak, This new Eid stamp released on the 12th August features the Arabic phrase "Eid mubarak" in gold calligraphy on a reddish background. Eid mubarak translates literally as "blessed festival," and can be paraphrased "May your religious holiday be blessed." English text on the stamp reads "EID GREETINGS."
First Eid Stamp issued by USPS in 2001
The new background color and calligraphy on this stamp will help customers and postal clerks distinguish the Forever stamp from the original Eid stamp, which was first issued in 2001 with gold calligraphy on a blue background.
