Each year, a Mexican state brings its crafts to Rome to decorate the Paul VI Audience Hall and the Christmas trees in the Vatican Museums.<\/p>\n
This year they come from Campeche. The state governor arrived accompanied by his wife to inaugurate the event in the Museums.<\/p>\n
In addition to traditional dances, they also brought 1,200 handcrafted pieces, such as the lottery game from their town, hats made with jipi, and pi\u00f1atas.<\/p>\n
Two of the dozens of artisans who have worked for several months to prepare them were present in the official delegation.<\/p>\n
One of his gifts is this Nativity scene made out of a paper material similar to the pi\u00f1atas. It features the figures dressed in rich embroidery.<\/p>\n
Many of the crafts brighten the pope's large audience hall, where he celebrates his most numerous meetings.<\/p>\n
For this reason, Pope Francis wanted to personally thank them. In this encounter, they gave him a stole and an chasuble embroidered in Campeche.<\/p>\n
'Holy Father, we love you very much and I want to give you this letter so when you go back to Mexico, you visit Campeche. It is there the first Mass in Mexico was held, and you are a Mexican Pope, huh? We love you very much... We love you very much. These are my children.'<\/em><\/p>\n Their visit from Mexico included this reception where attendees could taste Mexican dishes, and see the crafts that adorn the pope's Christmas season in the Vatican.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Coming from Campeche, they have worked six months to prepare the 1,200 elegant pieces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":24603,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[179],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/sxuDX3Mrbd0","video_descarga":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bnatalemessicanoeng.mp4","international_url":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bnatalemessicanoint.mp4","type":"bn","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49932"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49932"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49932\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24603"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49932"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49932"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49932"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
