1978 Ordinary Easter Postmarks

1978 is the first documented use of Ordinary Easter Postmarks. The Vatican uses Ordinary Easter Postmarks
on regular mail from Palm Sunday to the Feast of the Ascension. As far as it is known, this practice
started in 1978 and has continued every year afterward. This is done to celebrate the Easter Season.
