Pope Francis has gifted fragments believed to be from the True Cross to form part of a new processional cross which will be used at the coronation of Britain's King Charles next month. The new cross, made from recycled silver along with Welsh slate and reclaimed wood, was a gift from the king to the Church in Wales to mark its centenary in 2020. It will lead the coronation procession at Westminster Abbey in London on May 6.
