Your answer was: St. John Lateran in Rome. |
Answer: The mosaic depicting the six-winged seraphim angel found on the airmail stamp (Scott #C59) that the Vatican Post Office issued in 1974 can be found in St. Mark's Basilica in Venice. The Byzantine-style six-winged seraphim angel is a common form of decoration associated with the Greek Orthodox Church. St. Mark's design has a lot of Greek Orthodox influence. See also: • Rev. H. A.
