Pope Francis has donated the last cassock he wore as a cardinal to the Heart of Gozo Il-Hagar museum.

He wore the cassock at the Conclave in March during which he was elected Pope.

The cassock and its accessories, in the red cardinal colour, were presented to the museum by the Pope's personal assistant Mgr. Alfred Xuereb who is currently in Gozo on holidays, the museum said.

Mgr Joseph Farrugia, the museum curator, thanked Mgr Xuereb and asked him to convey best wishes to Pope Francis.
