Bolzano celebrates the beatification of Pope John Paul II





 Pope John Paul II on the Piazza Walter/Waltherplatz in Bolzano/Bozen.
 
 
To celebrate the recent beatification, some members of the group of artists UNIKA carved a wooden sculpture of Pope John Paul II. This oversized sculpture will be shown for some time on the Piazza Walther in Bolzano.
Pope John Paul II was a great Pope! He visited also South Tyrol in July 1988 and celebrated a Holy Mass in the Pilgrimage monastery Maria Weissenstein/Pietralba.

Flower market 2011 in Bolzano


Piazza Walther transformed for two days into a gardening.

Yesterday and today we had a nice flower market in Bolzano. This flower market is organized every year by the florists and the young gardener, and is a great opportunity to admire the new flowers and to buy something for the own garden or home.

May 2011 Theme Day: Mailbox
