Italian stamps edited on the occasion of Pope John Paul II's beatification are displayed on April 30, 2011 in Rome. Late pope John Paul II will be declared “blessed” -- one step from sainthood in the Catholic Church -- at a solemn mass in the Vatican on May 1 that will celebrate his extraordinary life.
