Please read: Free - New journal issue #2 of MACSU (Maximaphily Card Study Unit of America)

Notice the supremely concordant pictorial postmark - it can't get better than that.
A perfect postmark for this maximum card / maxicard / dorincard.

"The Agapia Monastery' (RomanianMănăstirea Agapia) is a Romanian Orthodox monastery located 9 km west of Târgu Neamţ, in Agapia Commune, Neamţ County. It was built between 1642 and 1647 by Romanian Voivode Vasile Lupu. The church, restored and modified several times during the centuries was painted by Nicolae Grigorescu, between 1858 and 1861.[1][2]

One thing you won't find (yet) at the Agapia Monastery is iPhone confession application users.
"If you are worried about all your personal sins being viewed in cyberspace, fear not -- the app customizes each user's list and is password protected for privacy. Once you go to confession, your nefarious revelations are wiped away. So you can text your heart out on your first draft, and then decide how you want to edit your transgressions for the spoken word -- all in the service of making the "big reveal" a little less ominous.
"In all seriousness, I think this app may be a boon for the sacrament. While confession (or the Sacrament of Reconciliation as we professionals are wont to call it) may be on the decline, I can attest that it remains a powerful venue for grace and healing."

Oh, really?
Here's how this app might work, manned by a live confession processor/priest:
"Hello, this is Father Nochil da Buserleft B. Hind (my reformed name).
I am ready for your iPhone confession.
In the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit,
the FBI and the CIA,
what exactly are your sins???"
