Christmas Island 2014
Year of the Horse
Souvenir sheet on
Official first day cover
Description
You are looking at this post office fresh first day cover issued and cancelled by Australian Post for Christmas Island on January 7, 2014.
Background
The Chinese zodiac uses animal signs to date the years over a 12-year cycle and 2014 is the Year of the Horse. For festive seasons, such as New Year, the Chinese lunar calendar is the determining factor.
The seventh sign in the cycle, the Horse symbolises perception and power and the Chinese idiom – lăomăshítú – literally means "an old horse knows the way": experience is valuable.
Those born in the Year of the Horse are said to be intuitive, practical and quick-witted. Horses make excellent teachers, politicians and performers. Some famous Horses include Rembrandt, Chopin, Sir Paul McCartney and Barbra Streisand. Horse Years over the last century were 1906, 1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990 and 2002.
