Store Gives out Carpets walked on by Pope
FLEMINGTON , N.J. (UPI) -- A New Jersey store owner says he is giving away sections of carpet walked on by Pope Benedict XVI during his visit to New York's Yankee Stadium. Ted Resnick, Flemington Department Store owner, supplied 20,000 square feet of carpet used for the pope's April 20 mass at Yankee Stadium and his April 19 trip to St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers, N.Y., Newhouse News Service reported. Resnick said people from across the nation are asking for pieces of the carpet. "There was one woman who wanted a piece for her son to kneel on when he got married," he said. Part of the reason people are eager to get their hands on the carpet is that a papal visit to the United States is a rarity. Benedict's trip marked only the third such visit in history.
