Preparations are underway across South America for the upcoming pastoral visit of Pope Leo XIV. In Uruguay, artisanal bakeries have introduced ‘Pan de León XIV’, a symbolic bread incorporating ingredients representing the Pope’s personal history, including rye from Chicago and grains from Peru. The Vatican confirmed the Pope’s journey will begin in Uruguay from November 6 to 8, before he travels to Argentina and Peru through November 16.

In Peru, tributes are also being prepared. A baker in the Monsefú district of Lambayeque created a large-scale, three-dimensional edible replica of St. Peter’s Basilica and St. Peter’s Square using eight kilograms of fermented bread dough. This sculpture serves as a tribute to the Pope, who previously served as the bishop of Chiclayo.
