Pope Leo XIV gave a mass in central Paris on Saturday, as the city turned into a "huge open air cathedral," BBC religion editor Aleem Maqbool reports.♪

据英国广播公司宗教编辑阿利姆·马克布尔报道，教皇利奥十四世周六在巴黎市中心举行了弥撒，这座城市变成了“巨大的露天大教堂”。

An estimated 700,000 people gathered for the Mass celebrated by the Pope from a special altar on the Place de la Concorde, on the second day of his four-day visit to France.♪

在教皇对法国为期四天的访问的第二天，估计有 70 万人聚集在协和广场的一个特殊祭坛上，参加教皇举行的弥撒。

The Pope then travelled to Lourdes, where he prayed in the grotto where the Virgin Mary was believed to have appeared in the 19th century.♪

随后，教皇前往卢尔德，在据信圣母玛利亚在 19 世纪出现的石窟中祈祷。

President Emmanuel Macron met Pope Leo on Friday, but did not attend Saturday's events, largely to avoid appearing to breach France's strict rules on the separation of Church and state.♪

总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙周五会见了教皇利奥，但没有参加周六的活动，主要是为了避免显得违反法国关于政教分离的严格规定。
