(Vatican Radio) The Vatican has released the official
logo and motto for Pope Francis’ Apostolic Journey to Peru, which takes place
on 18-21 January 2018.
“United for Hope” (Unidos por la esperanza) is the official
motto for the Journey, signifying that the encounter will be “a great feast of
hope to be received in unity”.
Logo
The logo expresses the Pope’s closeness to the Peruvian
people and his accompaniment of their journey of faith.
Two outstretched hands under the motto and date of the visit
evoke the colors of the Peruvian and Vatican flags: red and yellow,
respectively.
They form the shape of wings as a sign of prayer, praise,
and joy for the arrival of Pope Francis in Peru.
To the left, Pope Francis joyfully reaches out of a map of
Peru in a sign of closeness to the country and of unity with it.
Third papal visit to Peru
Pope Francis becomes the second Pope to visit Peru,
following Pope St. John Paul II’s two visits in 1985 and 1988.
Thirty years then since the last papal visit, Peru requested
that Pope Francis journey there, in order to strengthen the bond between God
and his Peruvian people and to aid in “a new missionary awakening” in the
country.
