Third Anniversary...
Today, 3 years ago Pope John Paul II passed away.
He was maybe the most charismatic Pope in history and certainly the most popular, even compared to rock or movie stars. He traveled all around the Globe, visiting Monterrey twice.
The two monuments at the left of the picture were installed for His second visit, from there He addressed some hundreds of thousand gathered at the Santa Catarina River (that has been dry for many years).
According to Wikipedia:
“During his pontificate, Pope John Paul II made trips to 117 countries. In total he logged more than 1.1 million km (725,000 miles). He consistently attracted large crowds on his travels, some amongst the largest ever assembled in human history”.
Hoy, hace 3 años, falleció el Papa Juan Pablo II.
El fué tal vez el Papa más carismático de la historia y sin duda el más popular, incluso comparado con estrellas de rock o del cine. Viajó alrededor del Mundo, visitando Monterrey 2 veces.
Los 2 monumentos a la izquierda de la foto fueron instalados para Su segunda visita, desde ahí habló para cientos de miles reunidos en el Río Santa Catarina (que ha estado seco por muchos años).
De acuerdo a Wikipedia:
“Durante su pontificado, el Papa Juan Pablo II viajó a 117 países. En total acumuló mas de 1.1 millones de kilómetros (725,000 millas). El reunió consistentemente enormes multitudes durante sus viajes, algunas entre las más numerosas de la historia”.
