In 2007, several countries issued stamps commemorating the “Year of the Bible,” a celebration of the Bible’s significance and impact on culture, history, and faith. Here are a few notable examples:
- Brazil: The Brazilian Post (Correios) issued a stamp featuring an open Bible with the text “Ano da Bíblia” (Year of the Bible) and “A Palavra de Deus Permanece para Sempre” (The Word of God Endures Forever). The stamp was designed by Marcelo Ribeiro.
- Croatia: Croatian Post (Hrvatska pošta) released a stamp depicting an open Bible with a dove, symbolizing the Holy Spirit, above it. The text on the stamp reads “Godina Biblije” (Year of the Bible) and “Riječ Božja ostaje dovijeka” (The Word of God Remains Forever).
- Poland: The Polish Post (Poczta Polska) issued a stamp featuring an open Bible with a cross and a candle. The inscription on the stamp reads “Rok Biblii” (Year of the Bible) and “Pismo Święte” (Holy Scripture).
- Slovakia: Slovak Post (Slovenská pošta) released a stamp depicting an open Bible with a cross and a dove. The text on the stamp reads “Rok Biblie” (Year of the Bible).
- Ukraine: Ukrainian Post (Ukrposhta) issued a stamp featuring an open Bible with a cross and a dove. The inscription on the stamp reads “Рік Біблії” (Year of the Bible) in Ukrainian.
These stamps were issued to highlight the importance of the Bible and to encourage people to engage with its teachings. They are sought after by collectors of religious-themed stamps and those interested in the cultural and historical significance of the Bible.
Please note that while some countries issued “Year of the Bible” stamps in 2007, others may have released similar stamps in different years, depending on their national or religious celebrations.
