The upcoming coronation of King Charles III will feature a personal gift from Pope Francis: a relic of the True Cross.
The procession will be led by the Cross of Wales that contains a relic of the True Cross that Jesus was crucified on over 2,000 years ago. The cross was blessed by the Anglican Archbishop of Wales.
King Charles III has visited the Vatican multiple times. He met with Pope Francis with his wife in 2017.
And again in 2019.
It is such a pleasure to see you again.
The two were celebrating the canonization of the English saint John Henry Newman.
The coronation of King Charles III will take place on May 6 in Westminster Abbey.
