Issued in 1963, this striking Vatican City charity (semi-postal) set commemorates the centenary of the Good Samaritan Association (1863–1963). The design reproduces a powerful sculptural interpretation of the Good Samaritan, symbolizing Christian mercy and compassion, accompanied by the Latin inscription “Samaritanus Misericordia Motus Est” (Luke 10:33).
Engraved with exceptional depth and detail by Emilio Greco, the set is presented in three denominations—30 Lire (blue), 10 Lire (red), and 300 Lire (grey)—each printed in classic Vatican engraving style. Highly regarded by collectors of religious art, Vatican charity issues, and thematic Christian philately, this complete set is a timeless and meaningful addition to any advanced collection.
