Did Pope's kiss healed brain tumour of a kid?

Gianna Masciantonio was one year old when she met Pope Francis at a parade in Philadelphia in September 2015.

We were praying for a miracle," his parents told The Sun.

Gianna Masciantonio was one year old when she met Pope Francis at a parade in Philadelphia in September 2015. The girl had a terminal brain tumor when the pope kissed her on the head.

"At that time, there was no hope for us," says his parents.

We prayed for a miracle. We had it: it was the kiss of the pope. God showed us that He was with us, say parents.

The girl was diagnosed with a brainstem tumor soon after she was born in 2014. She spent the first eight months of her life in palliative care.

The doctors thought she would not celebrate her first year. After meeting with Pope Francis, Gianna has resumed the hair of the beast. In January 2016, her condition improved with chemotherapy once a month.

Last November, the chemo ended. Gianna is three years old today and her tumor is gone.
