During this historic visit, he will visit some of the world's oldest and most declining Iraqi Christians, as well as meet with Ayatollah Ali Sistani, the country's Islamic cleric.
The Pope's four-day visit, dubbed the Pilgrimage to Peace, is his first foreign trip since the outbreak of the global coronavirus pandemic.
