It is an unusual and astonishing spectacle, certainly unforgettable, the Christ the Redeemer of Rio de Janeiro in alb, a special tribute to doctors and nurses working around the world against the coronavirus.

The 38-meter high Christ, symbol of the city, placed on the top of the Corcovado mountain, appeared with a smock and stethoscope around his neck on Easter day, while Cardinal Orani Tempesta carried out the Easter ceremony alone.

In the meantime, a wonderful light show has come to life and other images have also been projected onto the statue, from the flags of the countries most affected by the pandemic, to those of health workers, from messages of hope written by children to sentences of encouragement to hold on and be responsible.

A truly wonderful symbolic hug.
