VATICAN TOURS
The Roman Catholic Church offers a Papal Blessing from the Holy Father for special occasions for events such as anniversaries, confirmations, baptisms, and marriages. The blessings are received in the way of a certificate with the person’s name or names inscribed. Those of the Catholic faith treasure these blessings as a symbol of sacrament.
On the other hand, during a Papal Audience His Holiness gives his blessing to all that attend the Audience. We at Touring Rome, can provide visitors with tickets to the Papal Audience to receive the Papal Blessing, however, we must know in advance that you wish to attend. In order to receive the tickets, we must order in advance. The Vatican must know how many individuals will be attending so the can choose the location of the Papal Audience and Papal Blessing. In most cases, according to the weather, the Papal Audience will be held at St. Peters Square every Wednesday morning. In some cases, the Papal Audience will be held in the Paul VI Audience Hall.
We at Touring Rome will ensure that you have tickets to attend the Papal Audience and receive the Papal Blessing. We can arrange a personal tour of the Vatican after the Papal Blessing if you choose to enjoy the beauty of the Vatican and the masterpieces held behind the Medieval and Renaissance Walls.
During the Papal Audience, His Holiness will greet the audience in their own languages prior to giving his message.
By allowing us to provide you with the tickets to the Papal Audience, we will greet you at your hotel with a sign bearing your name and escort you with an official driver and licensed official guide to the Papal Audience. Our guide will stay with you during the entire Papal Blessing and take you on a tour afterwards.
