THE VATICAN 12 Aug (ANA) - Ermine Nzotto from the Central African Republic beams as she holds daughters Ervina and Prefina. The previously conjoined twins, whose skulls were fused together, underwent surgery in Italy's Vatican City days before.

 

Italian news agencies report that previously conjoined twins have been baptised by Pope Francis in the Vatican City.

 

Ervina and Prefina, whose skulls were fused together, underwent surgery there last month.

 

Their mother Ermine Nzotto is from the Central African Republic (CAR). Soon after the operation, she told local media she was keen for the Pope to baptise her daughters because "he has always taken care of the children of Bangui".(ANA)
