Logo and Motto released for Pope Leo's visit to Spain
By Francesca Merlo
The Holy See Press Office has released the logo and motto for Pope Leo XIV's Apostolic Journey to Spain, which will take place from 6-12 June.
The logo
The logo is designed as an open circle in motion, formed by human figures joined together and oriented upward. The emblem expresses community, encounter and mutual support. This does not mean only being together, but also walking together toward a common purpose. The Virgin Mary, placed at the center, represents the heart of the movement - a maternal presence that welcomes and directs every gaze toward God, as a sign of unity and hope for all people.
The motto
The chosen motto, “Lift up your eyes” (Jn 4:35), is an invitation to look beyond our daily concerns and rediscover the presence of God while opening ourselves to others. It is a call to hope and contemplation, encouraging people to go beyond themselves and to rediscover unity, beauty and charity as concrete expressions of a shared life. This gesture of “lifting up our eyes” also expresses the attitude with which the Church in Spain welcomes the Holy Father’s visit: with open hearts, ready to walk forward together.
