John Paul II was the first ever Polish pope. He was also the first non-Italian pope for 500 years and the youngest pope in over 100 years.

This special edition item has been made by Glassmasters, a division of OMNIA Corporation, in conjunction with the US Historical Society and features a portrait of Pope John Paul II by master artist Jack Woodson.

Glassmasters has been authorised by many world-renowned museums, art galleries, churches and cathedrals to reproduce stained glass and other works of art using traditional techniques. These institutions include the Metropoloitan Museum of Art, The National Cathedral, The Chicago Museum of Art, The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, The V&A Museum and many others in America and overseas.

RALLEY has pledged that part of the proceeds from sales of this item will be donated to Catholic Charities USA
