Pope Francis Dons Red Nose in Support of Child Therapy Charity

“The Pope showed he has a sense of humour as well as a caring side today when he donned a red nose at the wedding of members of a charity that uses clowns to cheer up children.

“Pope Francis appeared at the Vatican to congratulate the newlyweds from the Rainbow Association Marco Iagulli Onlus who were getting married there.

“As the pair came down the steps, he took the opportunity to show his support for the charity by donning the universal symbol of comedy.”

A recent Daily Report report offered a brief look at some of the “unconventional situations” in which Pope Francis appeared.

Rainbow Association Marco Iagulli Onlus, mentioned above, was established to provide support, both moral, psychological and (where possible) economic to families whose children are suffering from the cancer.
