Pope Francis on US Soil; Gifts From Philadelphia; Pope Memorabilia Sales Strong

Pope Francis landed safely in Washington D.C. yesterday afternoon for his first visit to the United States. He was greeted on the tarmac by a throng of supporters and dignitaries including President Barack Obama and his wife Michele. After a busy two days, the Pope heads to New York and then arrives in Philadelphia on Saturday morning.

At Tuesday’s opening ceremonies for the World Meeting of Families, Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput and Mayor Michael Nutter revealed gifts to be given to Pope Francis during his weekend in Philadelphia – a custom made bicycle for the eco-friendly pontiff and an ivory bone china bowl appointed in gold made by Lenox in Bristol.

Philadelphia’s entrepreneurial street vendors are off to a good start selling Pope Francis related memorabilia. T-shirts. Hats. Catholic jewelry. Catholic coffee. Toys. DVDs. Stuffed animals. Dolls. Paintings. Candles. Matchmaking services. Literature for married people, single people, divorced people. Books about dealing with demons and atheists and Jehovah's Witnesses. Pilgrims from around the world are buying it all.


iRadioPhilly will carry LIVE BROADCASTS all week from the World Meeting of Families Events, Papal speeches, Festival Concert and the Papal Mass. For more information, go to WMOF and Papal Visit Broadcasts
