Your answer was: The Vatican Museum has a special Wednesday lecture speaker. |
Answer: The Wednesday Papal audience, also known as the General Audience, is a tradition that dates back to the early 20th century. It was first established by Pope Pius XI in 1925 as a way for the Pope to connect with the faithful and offer his teachings and blessings. The audience typically takes place every Wednesday at 9:00 am or 10:00 am.
If you're planning to attend, it's a wonderful opportunity to experience the Pope's address and receive his blessing. Just be sure to arrive early to get a good seat! The long lines of tourists and pilgrims are sometimes something Vatican City employees have to deal with. |
