Pope Benedict XVI (C) arrives aboard his papamobile for the traditionnal visit to the statue of Mary on the day of the celebration of the Immaculate Conception et Piazza di Spania (Spanish Square) on December 8, 2010 in Rome. It is a papal tradition to visit the monument on December 8 and crown the statue of Mary with a garland of flowers, following which the faithful would then place flowers at the base of the column to venerate Virgin Mary.
