In this photo released by Vatican paper L'Osservatore Romano, Pope Benedict XVI greets a child during a visit to the Rome Gemelli hospital, Wednesday, Jan. 5, 2011. Pope Benedict XVI has brought stuffed animals, books and candy to children with spina bifida who are being treated at a Rome hospital. Benedict brought the gifts to mark Epiphany, when Catholics believe the three kings brought gifts to the newborn Jesus. Benedict told the children and their families that he wanted to be like the kings and give the children gifts to show his love and affection. (L'Osservatore Romano)
