Pope Francis received from Lithuania a gift for Christmas, which can not be seen by the naked eye, and this is a depiction of the birth of Jesus Christ, on which the baby Jesus is smaller than the human cell.
Lithuanian President Dalia Gribauskajte looked through the microscope today to see the replica of the cradle at the Cathedral Square in Vilnius - a copy of the scene of Jesus' birth that the Lithuanian diplomats gave to Pope Francis earlier this month.
According to her, scientists and students from Lithuania took three months to make a miniature crib with the help of a 3D cradle of natural size, reducing it 10,000 times.
Pope Francis plans to visit the Baltic states next year, AP reports.
Details of the papal visit to Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia have not yet been announced, but his arrival in those countries is expected in the autumn of 2018.
