Luce, the official mascot for the Vatican's 2025 Jubilee, took the internet by storm as a surprise 'anime-style' character designed by tokidoki founder Simone Legno. Dressed in a yellow raincoat symbolizing the flag of the Holy See and muddy boots representing the journey of life, Luce's wide, sparkling eyes and pilgrim's staff represent hope and faith. The character immediately became a viral sensation across social media platforms like X and TikTok, sparking a wave of fan art, comparisons to Evangelion or Wonder Egg Priority, and jokes about the Vatican's official foray into 'the power of God and anime.' The meme is primarily used to highlight the unexpected intersection of traditional religious institutions and modern Otaku subculture.
