Within the walls of the Monastery of Saint Cecilia in Trastevere, in the heart of Rome, a centuries-old tradition is renewed each year: in January, two newborn lambs, after being adorned and blessed, are entrusted to the care of one of the cloistered nuns. The nun tends to them with a mother’s tenderness, caring for and feeding them. The presence of these animals has a specific purpose: with their wool, the nuns of the Monastery weave the pallium that the Pope will wear on June 29th, the solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul. In the Holy Year 2025, as the rite takes place, the Pope suddenly falls ill.
