EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic moment captured in 1922, Pope Pius XI delivers his Urbi et Orbi address from the external loggia of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, Rome. For the first time since the unification of Italy in 1870, a pope addresses the crowd gathered in St. Peter's Square and the world beyond its borders from this vantage point. The Urbi et Orbi address, meaning "to the city and the world," is a traditional papal blessing given on Christmas Day and other major feast days. By facing outward from the loggia, Pope Pius XI extends his message of peace and goodwill to a global audience, symbolizing the expanding reach and influence of the Catholic Church in the early 20th century. The external loggia of St. Peter's Basilica, with its stunning architectural details and breathtaking views of Rome, serves as an ideal backdrop for this significant occasion. The crowd, dressed in their finest attire, gathers beneath the pope, eager to receive his blessings and partake in the spiritual and historical significance of the moment. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the papacy and the enduring power of the Catholic Church. As we reflect on this image, we are reminded of the unifying role that religious leaders and traditions can play in bringing people together, even in the face of political and social change. Pope Pius XI's groundbreaking decision to deliver his Urbi et Orbi address from the external loggia of St. Peter's Basilica marks an important chapter in the history of the papacy and the Catholic Church, and this photograph captures the essence of that moment in time.
