Pope Leo XIV At Audience With Jubilee of Italian Diplomacy Participants - Vatican

The representation of the Nativity in the Paul VI Hall, Nacimiento Gaudium, features a figure of the Virgin Mary in a state of pregnancy and a collection of 28,000 coloured ribbons, each representing a life saved from abortion thanks to the prayers and support provided by Catholic organisations to many mothers in difficulty. The nativity scene measures five metres in length, three metres in height and two and a half metres in depth. While respecting tradition — with the presence of Joseph, the Magi, the shepherds and the animals — the work introduces an original element: two different and interchangeable representations of the Virgin Mary. During Advent, a statue of Mary pregnant, symbolising expectation and hope, will be on display; on Christmas Eve, this will be replaced with an image of the Virgin kneeling in adoration of the newborn Child. In addition, 400 ribbons with prayers and wishes written by young patients at the National Children's Hospital in San José will be placed in Jesus' cradle in the Paul V

Groundwater Mapping in Normandy - France

Groundwater Mapping in Normandy - France

Eaux-SCARS, a large-scale scientific program involving the BRGM (Bureau of Geological and Mining Research), local authorities, and in this case the SMABI (Joint Development Authority for the Iton Basin) in the Normandy region. A helicopter from Germany, piloted by a specialist in this type of mission, tows a polygon measuring around 20 meters in diameter. This giant probe can map groundwater tables to a depth of 300 meters and see the interconnections with rivers. The Danish company SkyTEM is carrying out this work, which covers several regions of France, on October 31, 2025, in Saint Andre de l'Eure, Normandy, France. Photo by Mario Fourmy/ABACAPRESS.COM

Groundwater Mapping in Normandy - France

Eaux-SCARS, a large-scale scientific program involving the BRGM (Bureau of Geological and Mining Research), local authorities, and in this case the SMABI (Joint Development Authority for the Iton Basin) in the Normandy region. A helicopter from Germany, piloted by a specialist in this type of mission, tows a polygon measuring around 20 meters in diameter. This giant probe can map groundwater tables to a depth of 300 meters and see the interconnections with rivers. The Danish company SkyTEM is carrying out this work, which covers several regions of France, on October 31, 2025, in Saint Andre de l'Eure, Normandy, France. Photo by Mario Fourmy/ABACAPRESS.COM
