The theme chosen for the 2021 edition is \"The Sand of Miracles\"<\/strong>, which will tell the miracles of Jesus as an invitation to reflect on the meaning of salvation<\/strong>. The church of the Redentore and the basilica dedicated to the Madonna della Salute in Venice are just two examples that testify to the profound link between faith and the hope of salvation and healing<\/strong>. In Rome, Pope Francis went to the church of San Marcello al Corso where a crucifix was kept which in 1521 was carried through the streets of the city during the plague. And according to the chronicles of the time, the epidemic ceased when the crucifix arrived in St. Peter's Square. For this reason, the Holy Father brought the sacred artifact to the basilica, exhibiting it during the prayer for the end of the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \t
