Pope Paul ventures beyond the Vatican for the first time since his recent surgery. He joins with thousands of pilgrims on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception in the Piazza di Spagna and gives the crowd his Papal blessing. Crippled children carry flowers during a procession to a monument commemorating the Virgin Mary. Kids in wheelchairs look upward to the statue. Pope Paul waves from a convertible limousine to onlookers. He kneels at an altar before the monument. A close-up is made of him during a blessing. Crowd shots.
