Fireworks lit up the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain, as the tallest church in the world was completed and blessed on Wednesday, June 10. This video, filmed by Maria Candela Temes, shows fireworks erupting from the 172.5-meter church on Wednesday evening. Prior to the fireworks, Pope Leo XIV held a mass to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of Antoni Gaudi, who designed the Catholic edifice. Gaudi's death coincided with the addition of the final piece of the church, the tower of Jesus Christ.
