Collecting Postage Stamps With Religious Themes
Collecting postage stamps with a religious (or related) theme is a popular pastime enjoyed by individuals the world over. The scope is surprisingly large; many religious holidays, such as Christmas and Easter, have been and continue to be commemorated on postage stamps.
