You cannot enter this place without feeling the force of holiness.
The crypt is in fact the most intimate and warm space of the whole sanctuary.
The single casts of hand and face of John XXIII, executed after his death by the great Bergamo sculptor Giacomo Manzù, would be enough to make it a special place. To enrich the crypt, there is the crucifix of the Good Pope placed in front of the shrine, a reminder of what he wanted always in front of his bed.
