The blood of Pope John Paul II will be flown out and displayed in over 100 locations in Mexico next week according to an announcement made by officials on Tuesday.
The blood will be transported and displayed inside a capsule that was filled with the late Pope’s blood after it was drawn from him in a hospital before his death in 2005.
The capsule will be available for viewing in Mexico until mid-December according to the country’s Catholic Bishops Council.
The display will also include other relics connected to John Paul II including a rendering of his face copied from a mold taken after his death according to officials.
“In the perception of a Mexico plunged into terror, pain, hopelessness, anguish, vengeance and rancor as a result of insecurity and violence… the veneration of the relics will be an opportunity for the baptized and people of good will to turn their eyes to God,” said Rev. Manuel Corral, the council’s public relations secretary to reporters.
