Auschwitz-Birkenau, one of the most infamous and reviled sites in Europe, hosted the head of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis himself. Pope Francis visited the concentration camp on Friday during his visit to Poland. The leader of Catholicism came to Poland to celebrate World Youth Day and chose to devote Friday to commemorate suffering. The Pope sat in silent contemplation and prayer upon arrival at a site where some of most tragic human suffering of modern European history happened.
Pope Francis holds a mass in the Megaron concert hall in Athens. The 84-year-old's visit to the Greek capital is the first by a pope since John Paul II in 2001, which in turn was the first papal visit to Athens since the 1054 Schism between the Catholic and Orthodox Churches. IMAGES
