Two first day cards are being issued by the JP2 Foundation to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Karol Józef Wojtyla and the 30th anniversary of the Pastoral visit made to Gozo by Pope John Paul II.

The first card shows photos of the life of Pope John Paul II before and after becoming Pontiff, while at the back of the card is the information referring to the postal rubber stamp carrying the date of 18 May 2020, the 100th birthday commemoration.

On the second card is a photo of the National Monument dedicated to Pope Saint John Paul II which is found on the road to the Basilica of Our Lady of Ta’ Pinu and on the reverse side of the card, a collection of photos highlighting the Pope’s visit to Malta and Gozo.

These cards commemorate the date of his historic visit and carry the postal rubber stamp of 26 May 2020, exactly 30 years after his visit.

The JP2 Foundation said that a numbered limited edition of the cards are for sale to those that are interested, especially philatelic collectors.
