Pope Francis greets restorers of Basilica of the
Nativity
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis
on Wednesday during his General Audience greeted the restorers of the Basilica of the
Nativity in Jerusalem, accompanied by the vicar general of the Custody of
the Holy Land, Fra Dobromir Jasztal, OFM.
The current restoration works
of the Basilica started in 2013, and so far the roof, windows, the wooden door
in the narthex, and the mosaics of the walls in the nave and the transepts have
been completed.
Currently, the wooden
architraves above the marble columns are being restored, and last month work
started on the stone external facades on the western end. Funds are being
sought to help restore the 50 columns, the floor mosaics, and to provide for
the installation of fire prevention and lighting systems.
