EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Pope Leo XIII, born Vincenzo Gioacchino Pecci in 1810, granting his Urbi et Orbi blessing from the gestatorial chair following a Pontifical Mass. Pope Leo XIII, who served as the Italian Pope from 1878 until his death in 1903, is shown with a serene expression and outstretched hands, imparting his blessings upon the city of Rome and the world beyond its walls. The intricately detailed image, published in The Iberian Illustration in 1888, is a stunning representation of the 19th century's grandeur and the profound spiritual significance of the papacy. The vibrant colors and meticulous engraving techniques bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to witness this historic moment. Pope Leo XIII's Urbi et Orbi blessing, which translates to 'to the city [of Rome] and to the world,' is a traditional papal blessing given on Christmas Day and other major feast days, symbolizing the pope's spiritual connection to the global Catholic community.
