Pope Francis meets Members of the ‘Bearers of St. Rose’ Sodality - Vatican
Pope Francis meets with members of the Italian ‘Bearers of St. Rose’ sodality at the Vatican on January 11, 2024. Based in the central Italian city of Viterbo, the Italian sodality dedicated to St. Rose of Viterbo was founded in 1978 but bears a heritage much more ancient. The Bearers carryi in procession a ‘machine”’about 30-meters-tall topped with an image of the saint. ’It is a spectacular sign, which catalyzes the entire city around it and attracts crowds of pilgrims and visitors from all over the world,’ Pope said. Since 2013, the machine of St. Rose has been recognized by UNESCO, the UN’s cultural body, as an ‘intangible heritage of humanity.’ Photo by (EV) Vatican Media /ABACAPRESS.COM
