Title: Pieta's safe arrival.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-30877 PIETA’S SAFE ARRIVAL NEW YORK -- Pieta, the Michelangelo masterpiece depicting the dead Christ lying in the arms of Mary, arrives safely in New York after its long and, thankfully, uneventful trip from Vatican City. Francis Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York, who secured the permission of the late Pop John XXIII to bring the statue to the U.S., is shown at right after he had blessed the Pieta aboard a barge in the harbor. Pope Paul VI also approved the cardinal’s request. Bound for the World’s Fair where an estimated 15 million people will view it at the Vatican Pavilion, the masterpiece was insured for $6 million while in transit. Another statue, “The Good Shepherd,” also brought from Vatican City, was insured for $2 million. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (BB-NY-4C-64-W)

Title: Charred Cross -- symbol of reconciliation.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-30864 CHARRED CROSS -- SYMBOL OF RECONCILIATION NEW YORK -- In solemn services in the Music Garden at the rear of the Protestant and Orthodox Center at the New York World’s Fair, the famed Charred Cross of Coventry Cathedral in England was dedicated as a reminder of the Christian message of reconciliation. Made from two charred oak beams that fell from the roof of the cathedral as it was destroyed in a 9140 German bombing raid, the Cross and the adjoining inscription, “Father Forgive,” will be on exhibit at the pavilion for the two years of the Fair. Dr. H.C.N. Williams (at far left), provost of Coventry Cathedral, presented the cross and a smaller Cross of Nails, made from 14th-century hand-forged nails, as symbols of the Christian message that “crucifixion must always be followed by resurrection.” Others taking part in the service (from left to right) were: Dr. James W. Kennedy, rector of the Episcopal Church of the Ascension, New York, and chairman of the committee of the U.S. Conference for the World Council of Churches which arranged for display of the Cross; Dr. Arthur Lee Kinsolving, rector of St. James Episcopal church, New York, and president of the Protestant Council of the City of New York, sponsor of the world’s fair pavilion; Dr. Cynthia C.

Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-30894 SUDAN MADONNA AT NEW YORK WORLD’S FAIR NEW YORK -- One of the oldest Madonna and Child painting ever discovered will be on display in the Pavilion of The Sudan at the New York World’s Fair. Found by archaeologists in northern Sudan last year, the painting on sandbrick adorned the wall of an ancient church. Because the delicate fresco, estimated to be from 1,000 to 1,200 years old, has been covered by sand for centuries, its colors have been vividly preserved. The discovery came during efforts to save as many artifacts as possible from an area soon to be flooded by backwaters of the Aswan Dam, being built down the Nile by the United Arab Republic. The Madonna is six feet square and weighs 1,000 pounds. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (WF-NY-4D-64-NBM)

Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-31025 BIBLE TRANSLATION WORK PROGRESSES IN AMAZON JUNGLE NEW YORK -- Wycliffe Bible Translators, Inc., workers report steady progress in bringing the written Gospel to remote parts of the world, with many tribes considered still at a stone-age level now learning to read and write. At left, an Amarakaeri Indian boy in the jungles of the Upper Amazon in Peru studies a primer. His language, unwritten until five years ago, was mastered by a Wycliffe linguist, Robert Tripp. At right, a Campa Indian girl is being taught to write by Willard R.
