Pope Francis will celebrate
Mass before some 50,000 people in Florence's Artemio Franchi
stadium on November 10 at the close of his day in the Tuscan
capital, organisers said Wednesday.
Entry to the stadium will be by (free) ticket only, but it
will be possible to follow the Mass on big screens set up in the
nearby Ridolfi stadium and in the city centre.
The pope will be in Florence for the fifth national
ecclesial convention running from November 9-13.
Francis is slated to arrive in the city from Prato at 9.15
am local time and will head for the Baptistery of St. John, from
where he will enter the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.
During the course of the unofficial visit to Florence the
pope will also pray before an image of the Virgin Mary in the
Basilica della Santissima Annunziata and join regulars for a
meal at a local Caritas Catholic charity canteen.
