Pope Francis welcomed to Tuxtla Gutiérrez
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis
arrived in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Mexico on Monday, just before 09.00 local time
(16.00 Rome time).
His Holiness was welcomed by
the Archbishop of Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Fabio Martínez Castilla at Ángel Albino
Crozo Airport. Representatives from the indigenous population presented the
Pope with a crown of flowers and a group of children played marimbas as he made
his way across the tarmac.
However, the Holy Father did
not stay long. He boarded a helicopter that took him to the municipal sports
centre 50km away, in the town of San Cristóbal de Las Casas.
There he presided at the celebration of Holy Mass with the indigenous people of
the Mexican State of Chiapas.
The Mass was celebrated in
Spanish, with prayers and readings in three of the native languages.
You can watch the Mass,
streamed LIVE on the Vatican’s YouTube channel,here.
