By the initiative of the Italian Secular Franciscan Order, the Vatican City has been willing to honor the 800 anniversary of the birth of St. Elizabeth of Hungary and Turingia with the issuing of an extraordinary stamp value € 0,65.
 

The issuing date was Nov. 20, 2007 and on this occasion the Vatican Postal Office has also created a postal seal “die emissionis” to celebrate this event.
 

All of us pertaining to the great family of the SFO must be very proud and honored for this kindness from the Vatican.  Philatelic people have welcomed this extraordinary event with joy and interest, giving much attention to “our stamp”.
 

Italy SFO has prepared a limited number of envelopes containing 10 stamps plus one stamped on the issuing date.
 

It has also prepared a card reproducing the Marburgo window glass, and in back we can see the stamp sealed by the Vatican Postal Office on the issuing date.
 

To receive the envelope or the card you may write to enzo.terranova@fastwebnet.it
