Dancing dragons filled the Apostolic Palace in one of Pope Francis' meetings.
Members of the National Federation Italy-China performed a traditional dance to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the organization and to mark Chinese New Year, which 2024 is the Year of the Dragon.
Even the Pope got involved and added some color to the two decorative dragons.
Pope Francis used the performances to challenge the group to not be afraid to take risks in their mission of fostering bilateral dialogue.
POPE FRANCIS
Acrobats, as we know, specialize in daring exercises and performances, let us call them “high-risk.” Seeing this acrobatic dance, I want you all to know how to always take risks on the path of dialogue, becoming “acrobats of peace and fraternity.”
The National Federation Italy-China is dedicated to promoting economic, political and cultural exchanges between the two countries.
