Wider Image: Philadelphia's Pop-Up Pope
Christa Scalies, the co-creator of the Pop-Up Pope, greets a homeless man in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, September 16, 2015. In the run-up to the first visit of Pope Francis to the United States, a “joyful band of Catholics� takes a life-sized cardboard cut-out of the pope to the streets and bars of the city of Philadelphia. Their mission: to promote Catholicism and the Argentine pontiff’s U.S. trip using street evangelism and a spirit of fun. The pope arrives in Washington on September 22, 2015. A public outdoor Mass in Philadelphia is expected to draw 1.5 million people, rounding off the six-day visit.
