Half a million people gather for an open-air mass by Pope Leo in Peru

Approximately half a million people attended an open-air mass conducted by Pope Leo in the city of Chiclayo, Peru. During the event, the Pope expressed his happiness at returning to what he described as his second home, noting that he had previously established his reputation there while serving as a bishop.

This visit marks a significant stop on his ongoing tour of South America. The tour had previously faced uncertainty and concerns regarding a potential cancellation following the Pope's recent surgical procedure to treat lung cancer.

The report, filed by Vedika Bahl, highlights the large turnout for the religious gathering as the Pope continues his regional itinerary despite his recent health challenges. The event remains a central focus of his current diplomatic and pastoral mission across the continent.

पेरुमा पोप लियोद्वारा आयोजित खुला आमसभामा पाँच लाख मानिसको सहभागिता

पेरुको चिक्लायो सहरमा पोप लियोद्वारा आयोजित खुला आमसभामा करिब पाँच लाख मानिस सहभागी भएका छन्। कार्यक्रमका क्रममा पोपले आफू आफ्नो दोस्रो घर भनिएको ठाउँमा फर्कन पाउँदा खुसी व्यक्त गरे, साथै उनले आफू बिशपको रूपमा सेवा गर्दा त्यहीँ आफ्नो प्रतिष्ठा स्थापित गरेको उल्लेख गरे। यो भ्रमण उनको दक्षिण अमेरिकाको जारी भ्रमणको एक महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा हो। फोक्सोको क्यान्सरको उपचारका लागि हालै गरिएको शल्यक्रियापछि पोपको भ्रमण रद्द हुन सक्ने सम्भावना र चिन्ताका कारण यसअघि भ्रमण अनिश्चित बनेको थियो। वेदिका बहलद्वारा तयार पारिएको रिपोर्टले पोपले आफ्नो स्वास्थ्य चुनौतीका बाबजुद क्षेत्रीय भ्रमण जारी राख्दा धार्मिक भेलामा भएको ठूलो सहभागितालाई उजागर गरेको छ। यो कार्यक्रम महाद्वीपभरि उनको हालको कूटनीतिक र पास्टरल मिसनको मुख्य केन्द्र बनेको छ।
