Several hundred worshippers pack into the Holy Heart of Jesus catholic church in the town of Rakovski in southern Bulgaria, with thousands more outside, for a service in which Pope Francis gave 245 local children their first holy communion, the first time he has done this on a foreign trip. The pope is on the 2nd of a three-day visit in the Balkans.
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.
