New Led lighting for the facade and dome of St. Peter's Basilica will be turned on Friday at 6 pm at the same time as the illumination of the St.
Peter's Square Christmas tree, the Vatican said Monday.
In all 315 new clusters of Led lights will illuminate the Basilica, the largest church in the world, allowing a significant saving in energy consumption, said Father Federico Lombardi, the Vatican chief spokesman.
The new lights will be turned on between 6 and 6:30 pm Friday immediately after a ceremony for the unveiling of the Nativity crypt in St Peter's Square and the illumination of the Christmas tree from Calabria. http://popefrancisnewsapp.com/
