  <description-en>With the Easter holiday approaching, true to its traditions Magyar Posta is issuing a postage stamp. The new stamp offered as a festive decoration to adorn cards and letters in 2009 is based on a work by the painter Zolt&#225;n R&#233;ti entitled Shepherd&#8217;s Cross. In the middle of the composition in the distance there is a shepherd in a black hat surrounded by white lambs, the harbingers of spring and renascence. In the foreground life-giving ears of wheat can be seen beneath the blue sky. The painting is also a portrayal of Christ crucified. The first day cover for the stamp features the painting &#8220;Outdoor Mass&#8221; by the same artist. The design of the special postmark employs a detail of the painting on the cover, the stylised Christ crucified in front of the church.

Zolt&#225;n R&#233;ti (1923) was born in Nagyoroszi, then lived in &#201;rsekvadkert and, from the age of 10, in Balassagyarmat. He graduated as a teacher and cantor from the Teacher Training College in Miskolc in 1942. He was taken prisoner during military service and an adventurous journey took him from the North Sea to Bavaria, where he made a living as a portrait painter and church organist. After he returned to Hungary in 1946, he taught in Patvarc, where he was the cantor and choir master. In 1953 he obtained a degree as a music teacher in Budapest. He founded a music school in Balassagyarmat, where he was the director and a teacher for twenty years. For several decades he taught at the Bajcsy Primary School, the Balassi B&#225;lint Secondary School, the Teacher Training College and the Sz&#225;nt&#243; Kov&#225;cs J&#225;nos Secondary School.
He did not abandon his studies in the fine arts, which were interrupted by World War II, and completed his studies at the Hungarian College of Fine Arts in 1969. Although he works in oils and graphics, his preferred medium is watercolours, and his favoured subjects are landscapes and famous sons of N&#243;gr&#225;d county (the writers and poets Mad&#225;ch, Miksz&#225;th, Balassi, Komj&#225;thy) as well as portraying the Bible.

He has won numerous awards and distinctions: the Ap&#225;czai Csere J&#225;nos Award, the Mad&#225;ch Award, the Gold Cross of Merit of the Republic of Hungary and the Szabolcsi Bence Award. He is an honorary citizen of N&#243;gr&#225;d county, Nagyoroszi, Balassagyarmat and &#201;rsekvadkert. (Source: www.agt.bme.hu/balassi/retiportre.html)</description-en>
