VATICAN CITY, MAY 13, 2008 (Zenit.or g).- L'Osservatore Romano is making a small gallery of some of its best photographs of Benedict XVI and Pope John Paul II available in 2009 calendars.
The newspaper announced in a communiqué that its photo department produced two versions of a calendar for 2009, each containing 13 photos. One version has photos from the pontificate of Benedict XVI, the other from that of Servant of God John Paul II.
The 42 x 30 centimeter (16.5 x 11 inch) photographs are not associated with particular events or identified by a specific time and place. Rather they represent a small gallery of the finest available close-up images of the two Popes, the communiqué announced.
The calendars have been produced by the Vatican Publishing House and cost €5. They may be purchased in the offices of L'Osservatore Romano in the Vatican, or in the main newspaper kiosks and bookshops nearby.
They may also be ordered by e-mail by contacting photo@ossrom.va.
