An Israeli postal authority worker arranges booklets of stamps printed ahead of Pope Benedict XVI's visit to the Holy Land, at a warehouse in Jaffa, Israel, Thursday, April 30, 2009. The stamps show the different sites the Pope is expected to visit. (AP Photo/Dan Balilty) JERUSALEM (AP) The Israeli postal service has issued a dozen special stamps marking the upcoming visit of Pope Benedict XVI to the Holy Land. The stamps, which will be made available to the public on Monday, feature 12 Christian holy sites in Israel that the pope will visit during his May 11-15 tour. Israel Post says it will later issue another dozen stamps of the pope himself visiting those sites. Israel Post president, Avi Hochman, says the stamps are meant to "honor to the pope." The visit will be Benedict's first as pope. His predecessor, Pope John Paul II, visited the Holy Land in 2000. <*}}}>< <http://www.holypostage.com/>Custom Faith-based U.S. Postage <*}}}>< + <*}}}>< <http://astore.amazon.com/halthekin-20>Catholic on Amazon <*}}}>< <*}}}>< <http://www.halfthekingdom.org/on+allposters+today.html>on AllPosters today <*}}}>< + <*}}}>< <http://www.holypostage.com/>Holy Postage <*}}}>< <*}}}><<http://www.halfthekingdom.org/>Half the <http://www.halfthekingdom.org/>Kingdom!<*}}}>< + "A person is a person, no matter how small."
