thanks...I’m getting lazy...I should have done this upfront. The originally post did say “allegedly”.

I looked further at USPS holiday stamps. You can still buy religeous stamps...
not sure what the strike-out means. They are still listed as forever stamps.

The lineout or strikeout of “Forever” is present in online presentations of the stamps so rocket surgeons out there in society don’t simply print them off and counterfeit them.

Thanks for the link. I didn’t watch it, but Darlin was scrolling through Laura Ingrahan last night, and I think she had a segment which discussed the Christmas Stamp situation. At the very least, there does seem to be a controversy.

The stamp article was about a person who wanted to print customs stamps. You can do that but many people don’t know about it. So you can print your picture on stamps for your Christmas cards, etc. The stamp that caused the controversy wa one with a church (St. Basil’s cathedral) in the background and the USPS deemed it “too religious”.

The strikeout on the arabic stamp is so that you can’t copy it and use it. If you look online or elsewhere at USPS stamp pictures they ALL have that.
