Vintage Austrian Stamp: St. Benedict Stained Glass from Mariastern Abbey

A striking vintage Austrian postage stamp from 1993, showcasing a "GlasgemÃ¤lde" (stained glass painting) of "Sanctus Benedictus" from the Mariastern-Gwiggen Abbey in Vorarlberg. The stamp, with its predominant purple and magenta hues, captures the intricate details of the saint holding a chalice and crozier. Below the central depiction, a subtle illustration of the abbey's architecture adds context.
