Per celebrare i 40 anni delle decorazioni floreali donate al Papa, in occasione della Pasqua, è stato piantumato un albero di Liriodendron Tulipifera, conosciuto come albero dei tulipani. Non poteva mancare il riferimento al fiore più famoso coltivato nei Paesi Bassi per questa nuova pianta che da venerdì mattina, 24 aprile, adorna i Giardini Vaticani. 

Symbole de résilience et de longévité

Capable de survivre dans des environnements urbains pollués, de s’adapter à différents types de sols et de résister aux maladies comme aux parasites, le ginkgo biloba est un arbre qui dans de nombreuses cultures asiatiques symbolise la longévité. Il présente également de nombreux avantages, notamment l’amélioration de la qualité de l’air en ville, ainsi que la création de zones d’ombre et de fraîcheur pendant les périodes chaudes. Un spécimen de cette espèce a été planté, dans la matinée du vendredi 6 mars, dans les Jardins du Vatican.

Symbol of Resilience and Longevity

The Ginkgo Biloba survives in polluted urban environments, tolerates various soil types, and resists diseases and parasites. In many Asian cultures, it is a symbol of longevity. The tree offers numerous benefits, including improving urban air quality and creating shaded, cooling areas during the warm seasons. A specimen of this species was planted on March 6 in the Vatican Gardens.

Listening to the Voice of the Lord

Together through the Vatican Gardens to relive the sorrowful Passion of Christ. As is tradition, this year as well, the Governorate of the Vatican City State promoted the pious exercise of praying the Way of the Cross for its employees.

Con ocasión de las celebraciones de la Semana Santa, miles de flores multicolores y plantas, procedentes de Italia y de los Países Bajos, adornaron la Plaza de San Pedro y la Basílica Vaticana.
