On Saturday, Pope Francis baptized 13 babies from areas where devastating earthquakes struck Italy last year.
The baptism took place in the chapel of the Santa Marta house, where the Pope resides.
Italy was struck with a series of fatal and destructive earthquakes last summer and fall.
The first struck the town and nearby areas of Amatrice, Italy in August. It measured in at a magnitude of 6.2 and killed as many as 290 people throughout the region, and left several hundred others injured.
