Fakta-fakta Kunjungan Paus Fransiskus di Singapura
SEAToday.com, Singapura – Akhirnya Paus Fransiskus tiba di Singapura, negara terakhir dalam rangkaian kunjungan apostolik ke negara di Asia dan Pasifik. Sebelum Singapura, Paus datang ke Indonesia, Papua Nugini, dan Timor Leste.
Kedatangan pemimpin umat Katolik di seluruh dunia ini pertama sejak tahun 1986. Saat itu Paus Yohanes Paulus II mengunjungi negara tersebut. Apa saja fakta-fakta menarik dibalik kedatangan Paus ke Singapura?
1.Misa Dihadiri 50 Ribu Umat
Kamis (12/9) Paus mengadakan misa yang berlangsung di Stadion Nasional. Umat yang menghadiri misa mencapai 50.000 orang. Sejak pagi umat sudah banyak yang datang ke stadion padahal misa baru dimulai sore hari.
Sekitar pukul 16.30 waktu Singapura, Paus tiba di stadion. Dia sempat berkeliling stadion sambil memberkati anak-anak yang hadir. Kepala negara Vatikan ini juga membagikan Rosario kepada umat yang ingin bersalaman dengan Paus.
2. Keamanan Ekstra
Sebagai pemimpin umat Katolik di seluruh dunia dan kepala negara Vatikan wajar saja jika Paus mendapat keamanan yang cukup ketat dan berlapis. Polisi bekerja sama dengan berbagai lembaga untuk memastikan keselamatan dan keamanan Paus.
Berbagai cara dilakukan untuk mencegah hal-hal yang tak diinginkan. Mulai dari menambah jumlah petugas keamanan, sering melakukan patrol, hingga menutup beberapa jalur guna mengurangi kepadatan sudah dijalani sebagai langkah strategis mencegah hal buruk terjadi.Orang yang masuk ke stadion untuk misa harus jalani pemeriksaan.
3. Mobil Golf
Yang bikin penasaran selama di Singapura, Paus naik mobil apa ya? Saat menyapa warga di kawasan Jurassic Mile, Paus naik mobil golf warna putih. Setelah naik mobil golf dia berganti kendaraan dengan naik mobil Hyundai Ioniq 5 menuju tempat istirahat.
Selama di Singapura, Paus memang memilih naik mobil hybrid tersebut untuk menunjang aktivitasnya. Saat di Indonesia Paus naik mobil Innova Zenix dan di Timor Leste naik mobil Toyota Sienta.
