This 25 centesimi stamp, issued by Vatican City in 1942, features a solemn wartime design symbolizing faith and compassion. The central image shows the face of Christ watching over a group of refugees, mothers, and children, evoking the humanitarian role of the Church during World War II. The Latin inscription "Flagrante Bello Misereor Super Turbam" translates as “In the raging war I have pity on the crowd.” Issued under Pope Pius XII, this stamp reflects the Vatican’s message of mercy and solace in a time of global conflict. A meaningful piece for collectors of religious, wartime, and Vatican issues.
