Logo and motto of Leo XIV’s visit to Spain: “Lift up your eyes”
“Lift up your eyes” (Jn 4:35) is the motto of the Pope's visit to Spain, published along with its logo by the Holy See Press Office
The Holy See Press Office has published the logo and motto for Pope Leo XIV’s visit to Spain , which will take place from June 6 to 12, 2026. The motto for this apostolic journey will be the biblical quote “Lift up your eyes” (Jn 4:35), and the logo is a composition of human figures, with a silhouette of the Virgin Mary in the center, guiding everyone’s gaze towards heaven.
The logo for the Holy Father’s visit to Spain is composed of an open, moving circle formed by human figures joined together and facing upwards. This composition expresses community, encounter, and mutual support: it is not just about being together, but about moving forward together towards a common goal. The Virgin Mary, located at the center, acts as the heart of the movement; she is a maternal presence who welcomes and directs our gaze towards God, a sign of unity and hope for all people.
The chosen motto, “Lift up your eyes” (Jn 4:35), is an invitation to look beyond daily concerns to discover God’s presence and open ourselves to others. It is a call to hope and contemplation, encouraging us to step outside ourselves and rediscover unity, beauty, and charity as concrete signs of a shared life. This gesture of lifting up our eyes also expresses the attitude with which the Church in Spain welcomes the Holy Father’s visit: with open hearts and a readiness to walk together.
