After dedicating time to prayer, the Holy Father spent time with the Polish Resurrectionist religious who serve at the sanctuary before returning to the papal residence at Castel Gandolfo. Mentorella sits on top of a mountain. It holds a special connection to several pontiffs: Pope John Paul II, just nine days after being elected pope, made a pilgrimage to the Shrine.

Autumn tints of Takinogawa, Oji

The slow-flowing Shakujii River originates from Sanpoji Pond, Shakujii Pond, and Fujimi Pond, then becomes a rapid stream in the Oji area. It is said that the river roared like a waterfall. Hence, the name of the river became Takinogawa ( Waterfall River). Takinogawa became famous for its autumn colours after the 8th Shogun, Tokugawa Yoshimune, had them planted in this area in 1721. A woman stands in the foreground, enjoying the scenery.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Kajima Seibei, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number87‐12‐0]
