Sanctuary Of Saint Leopold Mandic And Pilgrimage Site In Padua, Italy
A wooden statue and a glass display case containing the religious garments worn by Saint Leopold Mandic are exhibited inside his sanctuary in Padua, Italy, on May 15, 2026. The exhibition features his Capuchin habit and cloak alongside text panels and photographs showing Pope Paul VI and Pope John Paul II, who respectively beatified and canonized him. The indoor display includes white orchids placed on the floor beneath the statue, documenting the life of the friar who served here until his death in 1942. (Photo by Matteo Della Torre/NurPhoto)
