Vatican City

Civitas Vaticana, Città del Vaticano   

This set was issued on 8th November 1960.

The stamps depict the "Seven Corporal Works of Mercy":

  1. To feed the hungry.
  2. To give drink to the thirsty.
  3. To clothe the naked.
  4. To harbor the harborless (Presently interpreted as Shelter the Homeless).
  5. To visit the sick.
  6. To ransom the captive (Presently interpreted as Visit the Imprisoned).
  7. To bury the dead.

Corporal works of mercy  are those that tend to bodily needs of others. In Matthew 25:34-40, in the The Judgment of Nations, six specific Works of Mercy are enumerated. The last work of mercy, burying the dead, comes from the Book of Tobit.
