Pope arrives in Loreto to pray for the Year of Faith and Synod on Bishops

October 4, 2012

(Romereports.com) (-ONLY VIDEO-) On Thursday morning, the Pope arrived to the Italian town of Loreto, to pray for a successful Year of Faith and Synod of Bishops on the New Evangelization.

Traveling to that town mirrors a journey John XXIII took 50 years ago, when the Second Vatican Council was about to begin.

According to tradition, the Basilica of Loreto, holds the Nazarene home where Mary lived and where she received the message of Archangel Gabriel.
