Issued in 1983, this Belgian semi-postal stamp promotes Caritas Catholica Belgica, the national branch of Caritas dedicated to humanitarian and social aid. The design is elegantly simple, featuring a white cross with stylized supporting hands on a deep red background, symbolizing Christian charity and compassion. The denomination of 10 F + 2 F indicates a 2-franc surcharge contributed to charitable causes. This issue reflects Belgium’s long-standing philatelic tradition of supporting welfare institutions through postage stamps.
