Pope Francis sent a pair of papal shoes for an art installation in Paris in support of climate change action ahead of the COP21 meeting.
The papal shoes – black Oxfords – joined thousands of other sneakers, slippers and pumps in a symbolic march at the Place de la Republique.
The art installation was a substitute for a protest Global Climate Action march in the city.
The march was called off after the November 13 terrorist attacks in Paris.
Above the papal shoes was a laminated sign with Francis’s signature and the words “Laudato Si’”.
Shoes from other religious leaders were beside the Pope’s.
