This commemorative stamp from Austria was issued in 1986 to mark the 125th anniversary of the Protestant Church in Austria. The design depicts a Protestant pastor preaching from an ornate pulpit, symbolizing the importance of scripture and preaching in Protestant tradition. Architectural details and carved figures on the pulpit highlight historical church art and craftsmanship. The Lutheran rose emblem appears beside the inscription, representing the Protestant faith. Designed by Wilhelm Pfeiler, this stamp is part of Austria’s tradition of commemorating religious and cultural heritage.
