Audience: Pope presented with Nativity scene made of
bread
(Vatican Radio) During his last General Audience before
Christmas, Pope Francis on Wednesday met with a delegation of Roman bakers. To
mark the occasion they gave the Pope a sculpture of bread in the shape of a
crib made by master baker Fabio Albanesi.
The edible work was presented by Mr Albanesi and the
coordinator of the bakers of Rome, Giancarlo Giambarresi.
Speaking about the meeting and the gift, the National
President of the Association of Bakers, Davide Trombini said, "it is a
very significant event for the bakers of Rome in an important moment in the
life of the city and the country which is facing many issues related to ongoing
economic difficulties and coexistence: with this initiative the bakers want to
affirm the importance of welcome and solidarity towards others which is the
most important message that comes to us from the impending celebration of
Christmas.”
In June this year the Association distributed bread to the
pilgrims in St Peter’s Square as part of the Jubilee of Mercy celebrations.
