Pope Francis gifted President Uhuru Kenyatta a mosaic and four bottles of Vatican oil produced in Loreto, Italy, after a private meeting at the Apostolic Palace.
In return, President Kenyatta presented priceless gifts to the Holy Father in a show of good faith and a tradition for the Presidents who visit the Papacy.
The Head of State first gifted His Holiness with Kenyan local made goods, wrapped in black, white, red and green colours, representing the Kenyan flag.
He also offered a symbolic sculpture of a lion protecting its cubs and a photo book with Kenya’s history engraved in it.
The book had photos published in black and white with subtitles to explain the events. Kenyatta also presented a photo book of the Pope’s visit to Kenya in 2015. The book had photos of dignitaries the Pope met and the events he graced.
The head of state further gifted the Pope with walnuts as well as tea and coffee from Kenya.
The President made history as the first Kenyan Head of State to make an official visit to the State of the Vatican City.
