Papež začne návštěvu ČR u Pražského Jezulátka
Velehrad - Pope Benedict XVI will start his September visit of the Czech Republic in the Church of Virgin Mary Victorious in Prague which hosts the famous statuette of Infant Jesus, Czech bishops told journalists today, adding that this was Benedict XVI's own wish.
The bishops presented details of the Pope's Czech itinerary, as disclosed by the Vatican today.
The Pope will visit the Czech Republic on September 26-28.
"He has not given any concrete reason for his wish. However, it is understandable, in view of Prague Infant Jesus's importance and also as an emphasis of the pastoral character of the visit, which will partly be a state visit," Prague Bishop Vaclav Maly, the visit's coordinator, told CTK and Czech Radio.
