11. What did he give the pope?

And what did the pope give him? Can anyone tell? I watched several times and wasn't able to tell.

14. I thought it looked like a painting, a piece of art? And maybe he was given

a rosary, or a holy card? That little red thing looked like that sort of holder.

19. Oh, riversedge, thank you for posting this pure joy. I loved having children with Down's syndrome in my class. They were

treasures and brought such joy to me and all the children. I always felt like they taught me so much more than I ever taught them. Pope Leo has such a pure and heartwarming smile, too. Sweet souls spreading joy. 🩷
