Vatican: Pope Francis with a white pigeon

Today I got three postcards: one from the Vatican, one from Malaysia and one from Germany.

The card from the Vatican shows Pope Francis with a white pigeon. The photo was taken last year at Pentecost when somebody from the crowd thrown a white cage with two pigeons inside upon the pope. His life guard present him with the cage and he opened it immediately. He take out the pigeons and let them fly over the Saint Peter's Square. 


Stamp:
Gli ori del museo etrusco (from set of four) (issued 22-11-2001)


Thank You very much Henk!
