Gwenola, a 60-year-old grandmother from Caluire near Lyon, described the recognition of her embroidered banner of Saint Pothin at a recent papal event as "a gift from heaven." The banner, which she created 30 years earlier for a procession of saints at the Stade de France, was displayed during the youth vigil with Pope Leo XIV on September 25. Gwenola, who now cares for elderly people, initially chose Saint Pothin in 1996 when she was 30, stating she would take "the saint that nobody wants." She worked on the banner with her mother, who handled the sewing while Gwenola did the embroidery. The creation process was meticulous and took several months. Gwenola found inspiration for the design after visiting the church of Saint-Nizier and encountering a statue of Saint Pothin that housed the Virgin inside his sleeve. She used red for the bishop's color and pink for joy. After the banner was used in the 1996 event, it was given to the Saint-Pothin church in Lyon. After three years, Gwenola retrieved it and returned it to the Bannières 2000 association, after which she largely forgot about it. On September 25, watching the event on television with her husband, Gwenola was stunned to see her banner among the 120 carried in procession. The moment was particularly meaningful for her, coming at the end of a difficult week marked by personal challenges. Gwenola described the experience as comforting and reassuring, feeling as if God was affirming her value. The event also revived memories of her late mother, whose name is written on a small piece of paper tucked under the fabric of the banner. Gwenola felt as if she was reuniting with her mother in a spiritual sense, emphasizing that time does not exist in the eyes of God.
