Vatican post office to issue special stamps - CWNews
On June 22, the Vatican will release stamps for the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth. Along with the Austrian composer (who is a special favorite of the Holy Father), another set of stamps released the same day will commemorate the Pope's 2005 trips to Bari, Italy, and Cologne, Germany. Also on June 22, the Vatican post office will release a series of stamps celebrating the 500th anniversary of St. Peter's basilica.
To mark the Pope's trip to Spain for the 5th World Meeting for Families, the post office will use a special postmark on July 8 and 9, the dates of his visit to Valencia. The postmark will bear the Pope's coat of arms and the inscription: Benedictus XVI Familias Convenit Valentiae. [More...]
