Pope Will Get a Monument in Belarus

Belarusian Catholics are preparing for the visit of the Vatican's influential Tarcisio Cardinal Bertone to unveil a monument to Pope Benedict XVI. The monument will stand in the village of Luchai, Postavsky District, Vitebsk Region. The Minsk diocese of the Roman Catholic Church announced that the ceremonial presentation of the monument was timed to coincide with the cardinal's visit on June 18 at the invitation of the Belarusian government.

There are already two monuments to Pope John Paul II in Belarus. One was erected in 2005 near the Church of St. Anne in the village of Mosar, Gluboksky District, Vitebsk Region. It is life size and stands in the midst of a rock-and-flower garden. The second monument to Polish pope stands in Volozhin, Minsk Region. It was erected in 2007.
