Church hides artwork ahead of Pope Leo's visit
Original: Church hides artwork for Pope Leo’s visit
A church has covered or removed its artwork ahead of a visit by Pope Leo, according to CNN. The decision is drawing attention because papal visits usually showcase a church's artistic treasures, so concealing them raises questions about the reasoning — whether modesty, security, conservation, or liturgical protocol — which has not yet been explained publicly.
Why now: Hiding art for a papal visit is counterintuitive and has not been explained, prompting curiosity and speculation.
