We are delighted to share the news that, earlier today (5 November), Royal Mail launched five UK cathedrals by artist Judy Joel, as their special stamp collection for Christmas 2024. Included in these five edifices is Westminster Cathedral, representing London and the Roman Catholic Church in this country.
Cardinal Vincent Nichols commented in a video:
‘We’re so proud because it means that the image will be seen by many, many people. I hope that seeing the image, they’ll understand that a church is a place where God dwells and where that sense of God’s presence is intense, comforting and consoling.’
The other four cathedrals are:
Liverpool Cathedral (Church of England)
St Patrick’s Cathedral, Armagh (Church of Ireland)
St Mary’s Cathedral, Edinburgh (Scottish Episcopal Church)
St Deiniol’s Cathedral, Bangor (Church in Wales)
The full collection can be viewed and purchased here.
