Pope gets choccie piano
2006-04-10 17:02
Vatican City - Pope Benedict XVI received a piano-shaped chocolate cake on Monday, prepared by students of the conservative Roman Catholic group Opus Dei for his 79th birthday on April 16.
Benedict's fondness for the piano has been noted.
He had one installed in his quarters in the Vatican after he became pope last April.
After giving a benediction on Easter Sunday, which co-incides with his birthday, Benedict will travel to the papal country retreat in Castelgandolfo, near Rome, for a brief holiday.
