The Seises boy's choir from Toledo, Spain, sang for Pope Francis during his last General Audience before summer vacation.
The choir director, José Manuel Martín, described it as a unique experience.
JOSÉ MANUEL MARTÍN
Director, Seises Choir
We stood in choir, sang a hymn to the Virgin and the Pope approached us. He was able to bless the picture that we carried with the Blessed Sacrament monstrance and the choir robes, one of the characteristic garments of the children. He was also able to greet some of the children.
Their trip was originally planned for 2020, but, due to the pandemic, it was postponed. For this reason, the director says the song expresses their gratitude for being in Rome.
The Seises choir is made up of almost 50 children from the Nuestra Señora de los Infantes school. The oldest is 19 years old and the youngest is 7.
