Remembering Holy Roman Empress Maria Theresia

A few Austrian stamps from my collection issued in 1980 for the
200th Anniversary of the death of Holy Roman Empress Maria Theresia,
mother of Maria Carolina, Queen of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies
In memory of Maria Theresia (13 May 1717 – 29 November 1780), Holy Roman Empress, Archduchess of Austria, Queen of Hungary, Queen of Bohemia, and the rest, we pray for the happy repose of her soul.

Eternal rest grant unto Her Majesty, O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
