Today was dark, gray and rainy so I did not go to St. Peter’s Square to get photos of the Nativity scene. Will try to go when there is some sun and I’ll also post photos of the 100 Nativity Scenes exhibit.
Tomorrow will be an interesting day. A notice was posted on the front door of our building and on many buildings and stores for blocks and blocks that there will be no electricity from 7 am to 3 pm due to work in the area by the electric company. Am trying to figure out how to spend those hours and am thinking of going through several Holy Doors. At least I’ll be in touch with people and events on my cell phone. Hopefully the sun will be out – or, at least, no rain!
I’ll stay in touch with Vatican events and will be on the radio tomorrow with Teresa Tomeo at our usual time Wednesday afternoon, starting about 3:39, Rome time (9:39 am ET)
POPE ATTENDS CHRISTMAS CONCERT AT PAUL VI PONTIFICAL SCHOOL IN CASTELGANDOLFO
This afternoon, at 5:00 PM, Pope Leo XIV will visit the Paul VI Pontifical School in Castelgandolfo, where he will attend a Christmas concert prepared by the school’s children. According to the Holy See Press Office. Some photos and videos will be filmed by Vatican Media and distributed at the end of the meeting.
At the end of the concert, just before 6 pm, :Leo XIV had his photo taken with the students! They kept chanting “Papa Leone!”
I posted live video of the student choir on Facebook and X. (4) Facebook As you know, it has been Leo’s habit in recent months to spend Monday night and all day Tuesday at the papal residence at Castelgandolfo
