At 7p.m. on Dec. 8, an LED light show will take place entitled “Fiat lux: Illuminating Our Common Home”, during which photographs will be projected onto the façade and cupola of Saint Peter’s, taken from a repertoire of some of the world’s great photographers. “These illuminations will present images inspired of Mercy, of humanity, of the natural world, and of climate changes,” the Vatican said, adding that it’s sponsored by the World Bank Group (Connect4Climate) and a group of businesses. The event, “inspired by the most recent encyclical of Pope Francis, Laudato si’,” is intended to coincide with the COP21 UN Climate Change Conference which runs until Dec. 11.
