The unofficial Vatican newspaper, “L’ Osservatore Romano” has created two calendars for 2009: one from the pontificate of Benedict XVI and the other from the Servant of God John Paul II’s reign.  Each calendar contains 13 photos chosen from a selection of the finest available close-up images of the two Popes.

The calendars have been produced by the Vatican Publishing House, cost five Euros (approximately $ 7.75) each and may be purchased in the offices of the photographic service of "L’ Osservatore Romano" at the Vatican, or in the main newspaper kiosks and bookshops nearby.

The calendars may also be ordered by e-mail by contacting the address: photo@ossrom.va .
