St. Nicholas was a Christian priest who lived in the III–IV centuries. He became famous for helping the poor, especially children. The image of St. Nicholas is the embodiment of humanity, kindness and high moral values. According to the tradition of the holiday, St. Nicholas brings gifts for good deeds and actions, and \"the rods of punishment\" – for bad ones. Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the dreams of both adults and children have transformed into one common desire - to win the victory. And this year's celebration of St. Nicholas Day together with the Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine further strengthens the Ukrainian nation's faith in the victory of good over evil. On the postage stamp \"Gifts from St. Nicholas\", interpreted by artist Kost Lavro, St. Nicholas is carrying weapons for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in a camouflage bag, which is so necessary for Ukraine's victory, while the enemy will get \"the rod of punishment\" from the saint and our soldiers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"HSE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44257586872569,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/5233\/files\/2023ukrsantafdc.jpg?v=1704658338"},{"product_id":"hungary-first-day-cover-collection","title":"Hungary First Day Cover collection","description":"\u003cp\u003e25 Different FDC's from Hungary \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HSE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44366631272697,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/5233\/files\/1D6F1810-FD2B-41DE-9DCA-E23588839DAC.jpg?v=1706396278"},{"product_id":"eastern-europe-first-day-cover-collection","title":"Eastern Europe First Day Cover collection","description":"\u003cp\u003e25 Different FDC's from Eastern Europe\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HSE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44366634090745,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/5233\/files\/FullSizeRender_d1674ba6-e129-46fa-810c-c9fda73cd0a9.heic?v=1706396180"},{"product_id":"ukraine-2024-heroic-professions-sheet-ukrposhta-is-always-by-your-side-first-day-cover-set","title":"Ukraine - 2024 Heroic Professions - Ukrposhta is always by your side - Set of two First Day Covers","description":"\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSet of two first Day Covers from Kyiv - 01001 and 02002 Post offices\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe postal set \u003cstrong\u003e“Heroic Professions.

Archaeological excavations on Somló have uncovered numerous fascinating finds which provide important information about the history and culture of the region. The archaeologists, with the help of volunteers, found ritual treasures dating from the Late Bronze Age during a metal detecting survey. The neck collar discovered at Somló is a unique find, as it consists of an eggshell-thin bronze plate covered by a thin gold foil held in place by its edges being folded back over the rim of the bronze plate. The neck collar is divided into four fields by three bundles of cord-ribs and is also adorned with densely stamped concentric circular patterns. This jewelry was probably part of a set of ceremonial vestments and may have been a sign of the wearer’s high social status. The gold and amber jewelry is evidence of a flourishing Late Bronze Age culture. These pieces of jewelry indicate that there was probably a close network of European contacts spanning the Baltic, the Alps and the Carpathian Basin.
