Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI at the end of a "Small spiritual evening concert" in his honor last June 16, 2017, in the Vatican Gardens.
The only photo we have so far of the Emeritus Pope this month, courtesy of the Fondazione Vaticana Joseph Ratzinger-Benedetto XVI, but apart
from the fact that it is a very good photograph, the only information provided to us is a caption translated above.
Nothing about what the occasion was for the concert, who offered the concert, nor who are the persons shown in the photograph with him. Also, I do not know
if a 'spiritual concert' has to do with music at all - would it be a concert of sacred music? What was the program and who were the performers? Was it held
in front of Mater Ecclesiae or in front of the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes?
If you have not seen it before, here is the Fondazione's little video about the life of Joseph Ratzinger which was assembled last year and which they have
re-issued on the occasion of the 40th anniversary last May 28th of his episcopal ordination.
