Army General Raul Castro, president of the Council of State and Ministers of the Republic of Cuba attends the Holly mass officiated by His Holiness Benedicto XVI in the Jose Marti Plaza of the Revolution in Havana.

The Eucharist, the second one offered in Cuba by the Pope is broadcast live by Radio Rebelde, Radio Havana Cuba and by channels Cubavision and Cubavision Internacional.

Likewise, in the mass celebrated last Monday in Santiago de Cuba, believers or non believers are attending the meeting with His Holiness Benedicto XVI, paying tribute with the deserved examples of affection and respect, characteristics of an educated people.

As 14 years ago during the visit of John Paul II to our nation, the huge hospitality and discipline of the Cuban people contribute to make this moment a memorable event.
