Issued by Germany in 2004, this commemorative stamp honors Saint Boniface (c. 675–754), the “Apostle of the Germans” and a central figure in the Christianization of early medieval Germany. The design incorporates a dramatic historical painting depicting his martyrdom, overlaid with a bold white cross—symbolizing faith and sacrifice. The modern graphic treatment, blending classical art with contemporary layout, gives this stamp strong visual impact. It is particularly valued by collectors interested in religious history, European saints, and modern German commemoratives.
