Angela Giuseppe Rancelli was a Catholic priest in Turkia. He surprised his community by reading the Bible in Turkish, in the Christmas sermon of year 1935.

 

Later (1958-1963), he became the Pope, as His Holliness 23. Johannes.

He was never forgotten in Turkia. A popular street in Istanbul is now named after him.

 

I offer my early "Merry Christmas" wishes to all christian friends here....in his honor.

I was just glad he said "Merry Christmas" instead of Happy Holidays!  {#emotions_dlg.bigsmile}  You don´t hear that too often any more.

 Yes - luckily "Happy Holidays" has not reached the UK yet and we are still free to say "Happy Christmas" at the moment...although I am sure we will be banned from that too soon
