Celebrating the Chinese Year of the Snake
Isle of Man Post Office is delighted to celebrate the Chinese Year of the Snake with this set of four stamps beautifully illustrated by local artist Jo Davies. The 2025 Year of the Snake is the latest instalment in our ongoing series marking the Chinese Lunar New Year.
2025 is the year of the Wood Snake and the artwork in this collection reflects the symbols associated with the snake, combined with those traditionally used in celebrating the Chinese Lunar New Year. The snake symbolises light and dark and is believed to offer protection from negative forces. It sheds its skin and appears to have been reborn and is often associated in cultures with transformation and rebirth.
