In 2025 the Pontifical Institute of Christian Archaeology marks its first one hundred years of activity, and the Postal and Philatelic Service of the Governorate of Vatican City State—together with Luxembourg, with which it is issuing a joint release—celebrates this anniversary with a postage stamp dedicated to a century of scientific activity and the safeguarding of Christian-era archaeological heritage.
In the spirit of collaboration and friendship
With this issue, the Postal and Philately Service of the Governorate of Vatican City State “intends to pay tribute to an anniversary of great significance in the history of the Holy See’s international relations and in the life of the Catholic community in Indonesia itself.” This was emphasized by Archbishop Emilio Nappa, Secretary General of the Governorate, during the presentation of the postage stamp dedicated to the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the Holy See and the Republic of Indonesia. The ceremony took place in the conference room of the Vatican Museums on Friday afternoon, 14 November.
