A commemorative postage stamp for the 95th anniversary of Christ the Redeemer was launched in Rio de Janeiro on 12 October 2026. Diário do Rio’s report, published that day at 11:46, confirms that the launch followed the morning anniversary Mass. The stamp is a collaboration between Correios and the Christ the Redeemer sanctuary.

The design reproduces a black-and-white photograph from Oskar Metsavaht’s Divina Geometria – Cristo Redentor series. The sanctuary’s advance announcement describes the monument with its arms outstretched and identifies Metsavaht as the artist responsible for the anniversary stamp. That earlier announcement set out the planned launch; the 12 October report confirms it took place.

The launch formed part of celebrations that also opened the Cristo Redentor – Rumo aos 100 Anos exhibition at the Paineiras Visitor Centre. Cardinal Orani João Tempesta presided at the 07:30 Mass, with sanctuary rector Padre Omar participating. The anniversary commemorates the monument’s inauguration on 12 October 1931.
