Venerdì 16 ottobre c.a., in occasione del 42° anniversario dell'elezione di Giovanni Paolo II, le Poste Polacche in collaborazione con le Poste Vaticane hanno messo in circolazione un francobollo con l'immagine del Papa polacco. In questo modo festeggiano anche il centenario della sua nascita, che cade quest'anno - informa l'Ufficio Stampa delle Poste Polacche.
L'autrice del disegno, Agnieszka Sobczyńska, ha presentato il francobollo con l'immagine di San Giovanni Paolo II con l'aureola e sullo sfondo, come di un elemento decorativo, un frammento di un ricamo di suor Lucia dos Santos (la suora portoghese, testimone delle apparizioni mariane a Fatima nel 1917). Nell'angolo inferiore sinistro del francobollo si trova la scritta 100, posta all'interno dello stemma papale, con le due chiavi. Il francobollo è disponibile in tre versioni grafiche e presenta a sua volta: Karol Wojtyła con la Mamma; Il Cardinale Stefan Wyszyński, Primate di Polonia con il Cardinale Karol Wojtyła e, l'ultimo, Papa Giovanni Paolo II
The President of the Polish Bishops’ Conference: I call upon all people of good will not to destroy the legacy of John Paul II
I call upon all people of good will not to destroy the common good, of which the legacy of John Paul II is no doubt a part.

The Vatican and Polish Postal Services Issue a Stamp Commemorating the Centennial of John Paul II’s Birth and His Election as Pope
On Friday, October 16th of this year, the day of the 42nd anniversary of John Paul II’s election, Poczta Polska has issued, in cooperation with the Poste Vaticane, a stamp with the image of the Polish Pope. The centennial of his birth, which falls this year, is also celebrated in this way, the Press Office of Poczta Polska stated.
The project’s designer, Agnieszka Sobczyńska, presented the picture of Saint John Paul II with a halo on the stamp, over the background of a decorative element—a fragment of embroidery done by Sister Lucia dos Santos (a Portuguese nun, a witness of Mary’s apparitions in Fatima in 1917). The stamp’s tag bears, in its lower-left corner, the number 100 composed with the two keys of the papal coat of arms. Three graphic versions of the stamp are available: one shows Karol Wojtyła with his mother; another Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, the Primate of Poland, and Cardinal Karol Wojtyła; and the third, Pope John Paul II in St. Peter’s Square in Rome, says the Press Office of the Polish Post

Leszek Gęsiak SJ.
Archbishop, you witnessed the moment when Karol Wojtyła was elected to the See of Peter. Could you please tell us a few words about the circumstances in which it happened and your reaction to the election?
In fact, we were many in St. Peter's Square then, including many Poles. I was fortunate to be there with others and to witness this unique, historic moment when Karol Wojtyła's name was announced. Apart from the normal emotion that accompanies such moments, the first thought that came to my mind was: This is something that happens only once in a thousand years for the Christian Nation, for the Poles, and it may never happen again.
