    Vatican City, Jun 21, 2012 / 12:21 pm (CNA).- Many of the Vatican’s events for the forthcoming Year of Faith were announced today as organizers unveiled the official logo in Rome.

    Archbishop Rino Fisichella, President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting New Evangelization, told CNA June 21 that the “significance of the logo is very simple.”

    “The boat is the sign of the Church, and you can see this is a moment of movement,” he explained, “we also have the cross, and the cross is the sign of love, it’s the sign of our faith. And together with the cross there is the sign of the Eucharist, and the Eucharist for us is at the center of our lives, it is the center of the life of faith.”

    The Year of Faith was announced last fall by Pope Benedict as a means to give momentum to a new evangelization. It will run from Oct. 11, 2012 to Nov. 24, 2013.

    The logo was unveiled by Archbishop Fisichella at a June 21 Vatican press conference.

    He also announced the creation of a new website www.annusfidei.va, which will soon be available in six languages, including English. It outlines the key religious and cultural events that will mark the year in Rome and will be attended by Pope Benedict XVI.

    The opening liturgy will take place in St. Peter’s Square on Oct. 11, the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the Second Vatican Council.
