Pope Leo XIV arrived this morning at the Sanctuary of Las Nazarenas, in the Cercado de Lima district, where he visited the sacred image of the Lord of Miracles.
Upon arriving at the Catholic site, the pontiff stepped down from the popemobile that had brought him, approached the "Black Christ" (Cristo Moreno), and paid his respects.
Immediately afterward, the Holy Father re-boarded the popemobile to continue his journey toward the Archbishop's Palace, located in Lima’s Plaza Mayor, where he is scheduled to meet with the bishops of Peru.
At 9:00 a.m., Leo XIV departed from the Apostolic Nunciature in the Jesús María district, where he had spent the night.
Before boarding the vehicle for his journey, he took a moment to greet the hundreds of Catholic faithful who were waiting for him outside. Some even presented him with gifts.
Upon reaching Avenida Garcilaso de la Vega, in the Cercado de Lima, the pontiff stepped out of the vehicle and boarded the popemobile to continue his route.
Along the way, he greeted the crowds of people who had gathered since early in the morning to catch a glimpse of him.
