Mother Teresa is being recognised for her humanitarian work with the issuance of a new US postage stamp.

The 44-cent stamp showing a portrait of the Roman Catholic nun is being released at a ceremony on Sunday at Washington's National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.

Mother Teresa won the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize for her half-century of work with the sick and destitute of India and other areas. She was declared an honorary US citizen by a joint resolution of Congress in 1996.
