Sunday, December 15 was Bambinelli Sunday. It is a tradition initiated by Pope St John Paul II. On this day in Rome, many people bring in their Baby Jesus figures (Bambinelli) to St Peter’s Square to be blessed by the Pope. In our Parish, all were invited to bring their Baby Jesus figures from home or from their Nativity Crib to the Church on this weekend to be blessed by the Priest during Mass and take this Christmas Blessing back to their homes and families.
