A late 15th century design is featured on the stamp issued for the Feast of Easter. The design features an image of the Risen Christ standing above an open sarcophagus with his hand raised in benediction while several Roman soldiers (perhaps sleeping) lie on either side of the sarcophagus. A standard behind the left of the figure bears the Cross of St. George, a red cross on a white field. A depiction of the Jerusalem countryside is in the background. An inscription around the top portion of the vignette states "Surrerit Christus Alleluia MMX11," (Christ is Risen, Alleluia 2012.) The €0,75 stamp bears the papal coat of arms. The design is found in the Codices Urbinates Latini 112, a manuscript in the Vatican Apostolic Library. The manuscript was written by Antonio Martino in Florence from 1487 to 1492 and is from the work known as the Breviary of Marshals Corvinus, King of Hungary and bibliophile (1443-1490, ruled 1458-1490). The artwork is from the Florentine school of Ghirlandiao and Attavante delgi Attavante. Many pages of the manuscript are covered with gold and contain shiny miniatures and elaborate decorations. UFN's brochure states the work "represents one of the most beautiful works produced over the centuries by the silent multitudes of copyists and miniaturists."
