The association SOS Calvaires, based in Lion-d'Angers in the French region of Maine-et-Loire, has been chosen to create a cross that will be displayed at the Stade de France during a vigil with Pope Léon XIV on September 25. This is the same association that was previously commissioned to prepare for the visit of Pope Francis to Corsica in 2024.
SOS Calvaires is known for its work in restoring and creating religious monuments, particularly crosses, which are important symbols in Christian traditions. The group has been involved in various religious and cultural projects across France, often working with local communities and religious leaders.
The selection of SOS Calvaires for this new project highlights the significance of the cross in religious ceremonies and its role in public events. The Stade de France, a major sports and event venue near Paris, will serve as the location for the vigil, which is expected to draw a large audience.
The cross will be a central element during the vigil, symbolizing faith and unity. This task underscores the association's reputation for craftsmanship and its ability to meet the expectations of high-profile religious events.
