Timbre Pélerins d'Espérance

To commemorate the Holy Year 2025, the Principality has issued a postage stamp bearing the logo of the “Pilgrims of Hope” Jubilee*.

On 18 December, H.E. Mr Philippe Orengo, Ambassador of the Principality to the Holy See, had the honour of personally presenting to His Holiness Pope Francis a triptych made for him, containing the stamp, the first day cover, and a strip of ten stamps with luminous highlights, bearing the title “Holy Year 2025 declared by Pope Francis”. H.E. Mr Orengo also presented a special philately insert, symbolically numbered ‘2025’ and containing an example of the stamp as well as samples of stamps issued for the Holy Year 2000 representing the Twelve Apostles.

This gesture is an expression for the Most Holy Father of the utmost commitment of the Principality, the official religion of which is Catholicism, to this great event in the life of the Church**.

*The stamp is available at the Stamp Issuing Office.

**In the Archdiocese of Monaco, the opening ceremonies of the Jubilee will be held on 11 January 2025 in the Cathedral.
