An Icon for the Millennium

VATICAN CITY — The Vatican has chosen a design by a 22-year-old Italian art student over those submitted by advertising agencies to be the logo for the Roman Catholic Church’s celebrations for the year 2000.
Emanuela Rocchi submitted a logo made of five doves embracing each other in a circle surrounded by the Latin words “Christ: Yesterday, Today and Forever,” and “Jubilee, A.D. 2000.”
“Maybe the pope wanted to show his support of young people,” she told a news conference at the Vatican.
On Nov. 30, Pope John Paul II is to open three years of celebrations leading to the start of the third Christian millennium.
