| Abstract: | One of the most important anniversaries in the annals of Maltese history was no doubt the year 1960. The Island .celebrated the 19th centenary of the Shipwreck of St. Paul. The official programme of these festivities in Malta was long and varied, lasting from January to July. To commemorate this great event both the Civil and the Ecclesiastical authorities decided to issue a special set of six stamps ,depicting various episodes of the life of Paul, with special reference to his shipwreck one thousand nine hundred years before. The stamps were released by the Malta Post Office on Feb. 9th 1960. |
