In Vatican, Easter pastry and flowers galore thanks to Slovenia

Vatican City/Dobrovnik/Brezje, 17 April - Nearly two years after potica, a type of Slovenian rolled pastry, shot to global fame thanks to an exchange between Pope Francis and US First Lady Melania Trump, the pope can look forward to enjoying one of his favourite deserts once again this Easter. In what is a historic first, flowers from Slovenia will decorate St Peter's Basilica for Easter.
