[NEWS] Pope Francis Blesses Knotted Grotto In Philadelphia

From CBS Philly: 

During the papal parade in Philadelphia on Sunday, Pope Francis visited the “Knotted Grotto,” located outside the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul.

The “Knotted Grotto”is a public art installation that became a brief sanctuary for reflections by the faithful.

As KYW’s Steve Tawa reports, artists constructed the 20-by-13 foot domed structure made of ash and mahogany, a representation of one of Pope Francis’ favorite paintings entitled “Mary, Undoer of Knots.”  It depicts Mary, surrounded by angels, untying knots to form a long strip.

Sister Mary Scullion, co-founder of the homeless advocacy group, Project HOME, says Philadelphians jotted down their thoughts on ribbons of fabric.
