Apostolic Journey of His Holiness Pope Francis to the Kingdom of Bahrain
Logo and theme
The logo consists of the flags of the Kingdom of Bahrain and of the Holy See, represented in a stylized form, as two hands open towards God, which also symbolizes the commitment of peoples and nations to encounter each other free from prejudice and in a spirit of openness as “brothers and sisters”. The fruit of fraternal encounter is peace, which is symbolized by the olive branch portrayed in the middle of the “two hands”.
The words “Pope Francis” are coloured blue to show that the Apostolic Journey is entrusted to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who is venerated as “Our Lady of Arabia”, and is the patroness of the Cathedral, which is a gift of the Kingdom of Bahrain to the Catholic Church in the country.
The theme of the Visit, “Peace on earth to people of goodwill”, is inspired by the words sung by the angels in the narrative of the Lord’s birth in Luke’s Gospel.
