Pope makes traditional visit to the Statue of the Immaculate Conception
Pope Leo XIV visited Piazza di Spagna in Rome on Monday afternoon to mark the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception. Following a tradition observed by the Bishop of Rome for the past 50 years, the Pope laid a bouquet of white roses at the base of the Column of the Immaculate Conception and led prayers for the feast day. Accompanied by Rome’s mayor, the Pope prayed with those gathered, then greeted attendees and blessed the sick and elderly.
