Sunday Stamps - Churches; Austria, Great Britain

I've used up all but one of my stamps containing churches.

Mariazell in Austria contains one of the most visited shrines in Austria.

Austria - 25 October 1952
The church contains an image of the Virgin Mary carved in wood which is said to word miracles. Over a million visitors a year visit the small town.

In 1972 Great Britain issued a series of stamps on the Architecture of British Churches. St Andrews in Letheringsett, Norfolk and St Andrews in Helpringham, Lincolnshire are the two that I showed before in 2016.
