Sanctuary Of Saint Leopold Mandic And Pilgrimage Site In Padua, Italy

The glass tomb containing the effigy and mortal remains of Saint Leopold Mandic is displayed beneath a large carved stone sign inside his sanctuary in Padua, Italy, on May 15, 2026. The reliquary case is surrounded by colorful floral arrangements, including pink orchids and potted flowers, placed on a patterned rug. Born in 1866 and canonized in 1983, the Capuchin friar's resting place serves as the central point of devotion for pilgrims visiting this holy site. (Photo by Matteo Della Torre/NurPhoto)
