The first image portrays Ss Pope Pius X, his portrait radiating with grace and wisdom as he celebrates his priestly jubilee, and is a testament to his unwavering dedication to the Church. Another lithograph captures the poignant moment of Pope Pius X's passing in his Vatican apartments, marking the beginning of a new century. His departure from this world left an indelible mark on history, reminding us of his profound impact during his papacy. We witness how Pope Pius X warmly receives pilgrimages to the Vatican during summer, bestowing blessings upon those who seek solace within its sacred walls. From the vantage point of the Poggiolo, he imparts divine grace upon all who come before him. Even amidst solemn duties, there were moments for joyous celebration. In one lithograph, gymnasts gather in the courtyard ofs Damaso for a sports conference held at the Vatican. Their applause resonates through these hallowed grounds as they pay homage to their beloved Pontiff. Pope Pius X's influence extended beyond Rome's borders; he blessed bells for St Mark's bell tower under construction in Venice - an act that would resonate throughout generations. This gesture exemplified his commitment to fostering unity among diverse communities across Italy. The Pontiff also welcomed French gymnasts with open arms into the courtyard ofs Damaso – another testament to his appreciation for athleticism and camaraderie transcending national boundaries. A significant milestone captured by one lithograph showcases Cardinal Giuseppe Sarto ascending as Pope Pius X – an exalted moment witnessed by Marshal Of The Prince Chigi Conclave who was granted privilege as being first to kiss His Holiness' foot. Such rituals symbolized continuity within the Church's rich traditions.
