The 391st issue of Vatican Notes was mailed to VPS members in April 2022. This issue features an article on the ancient historical tradition of the venerated “Way of the Cross” in Jerusalem that gave rise to the well-known Stations of the Cross. Another interesting article is a comprehensive series of design essays created for the new Catholic University of the Sacred Heart stamp in Milano.

Read these two articles to gain some good information about regular Vatican postmarks.
