On August 31, 1984, Canada issued a stamp to honor the most beloved Pope of our lifetime, His Holiness Pope John Paul II and his visit to Canada. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the new stamp cancelled from the city of issue (Ottawa) on the first day of issue captioned above. Note the special cancellation depicting the Papal Arms created for this stamp.
The full-color cachet (artwork on the envelope) features Pope John Paul saying Mass with the crucifix and Canadian flag in the background. Also included is a short commentary of his visit to Canada.
Matted in blue, it's sized to fit a standard 8 x 10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity Included***
