basilica next Friday with Spanish royals Juan Carlos and Sofia
presiding, the Holy See said Friday.
The lighting "combines advanced tchnology with respect for
the environment and will save 80% in costs," said the
Governatorate of the Vatican City State.
The king and queen will cut the ribbon on the lighting at
17:00.
The basilica is the largest church in Rome devoted to Mary.
