Stamp of Our Lady of Consolation Chapter 23

 

This postage stamp was issued in Germany in 1987 when Saint Pope John Paul II visited Kevelaer. He was there for the 17th Marian Congress and the 10th Mariological Congress of Kevelaer. He visited the shrine and prayed before the image of Our Lady of Consolation, Consolatrix Afflictorum. These Congresses are held every four years in a different country. 

Below is a video of part of his visit. From 20 minutes to 21 minutes he is seen praying before the image. Consolatrix Afflictorum is written in large letters above the image.
