On Christmas Day the Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere here in Rome will transform itself into a huge banqueting hall offering lunch and festive cheer to thousands of people in need. The event is being organised by the St Egidio Community and there will be similar gatherings in 70 countries where the community is based.
Spokesperson for the St Egidio Community, Mario Marazziti told Lydia O’Kane, “the Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere will become the mother of all Christmas meals”. Listen
