The canonisation of Mother Teresa in the Vatican on Sunday Sep 04,2016 will be
marked by India with the release of a commemorative postage stamp.
India Post will on the day issue a souvenir sheet on Mother Teresa,
acclaimed the world over for her work among the poor.
The stamp will be
available for sale on the e-post office portal.
On Thursday Sep 01,2016, India Post released, in Kolkata, a special postal and numismatic cover on the Roman Catholic nun.
The cover has a specially designed cancellation featuring the Mother on a
silk envelope and includes a five-rupee commemorative coin issued by
the Indian government in 2010 to mark her centenary birth celebrations.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee left for Rome on Friday to attend Mother Teresa’s canonisation ceremony.
Accompanied by businessmen, top government officials and Ministers,
including State Finance and Industry Minister Amit Mitra, Ms. Banerjee
will also make a business visit to Munich before returning to Kolkata on
September 10,2016
