Vatican
City, 4 June 2013
(VIS) – The Santa Catalina Monastery in Buenos Aires, Argentina,
inaugurated the first photo exhibit on Pope Francis yesterday, 3
June. Entitled “Francis: Servant in Buenos Aires, Servant for the
World” the exhibit offers 25 images, mostly previously unpublished,
of Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio's pastoral activities as archbishop of
Buenos Aires, the work of photographer Enrique Cangas.
Cangas'
photos show Cardinal Bergoglio washing the feet of an elderly woman
in Penna Hospital, celebrating Mass with children in Roca Park, at
the traditional Corpus Christi procession, or meeting with his
evangelical “brothers” at an amusement park. “My objective,”
declared photographer who has had the opportunity to portray the
portray the Pope on various occasions, “was to show that Pope
Francis' attitudes and gestures, which today are amazing the world
and opening a period of hope for the whole Church, are a continuation
of what he demonstrated in Buenos Aires.”
The
exhibit, which is free of charge, will continue until 28 June.
