The area dedicated to those who want to welcome Pope Francis during his visit in Bucharest, on May 31, has been extended from the St. Iosif Cathedral to the Revolution Square. Previously, the area covered the streets around the cathedral, according to Romania-Insider.com.
As such, an area with 5,000 chairs will be set up in the capital’s George Enescu Square and Revolution Square. Two stages will be set up, one in front of the St. Iosif Cathedral, where prayers will be conducted throughout the day of May 31, and another one in George Enescu Square, where artistic events and prayers will take place. The Pope will deliver a service at the St. Iosif Cathedral during the evening of May 31. At the same time, mobile confessionals will be placed throughout the area.
The Pope’s visit to Bucharest, from the landing on the Otopeni Airport to the arrival at the St. Iosif Cathedral, will be broadcast on the 15 screens set up in the area. The Pope will travel by popemobile in the area between the cathedral and the Revolution Square, and will greet and bless the people who will wait for him on the streets in the area.
