Vatican Meets Anime: Introducing Mascot Luce!

In anticipation of the 2025 Jubilee year, the Vatican has unveiled Luce, a Neochibi mascot, to engage younger audiences by bridging the gap between youth culture and the Church. Luce, who made her debut at the Lucca Comics & Games convention, uses her design, which draws inspiration from traditional Catholic aspects and Japanese pop culture, to embody concepts of faith and optimism.
