COROS is the acronym for The Collectors of Religion on Stamps; a non-profit philatelic society
dedicated to the study and collection of postal material that has some element of religious significance.
COROS was founded in 1943 by a group of stamp collectors who realized that Religion on Stamps
was becoming so large that it required its own study society to keep up with new issues and
report details of older ones. COROS is the oldest topical stamp society in the United States.
COROS is non-denominational and contains members from all faiths.
