This apostolic visit to Iraq brings hope to the dwindling Christian population of the area, who have faced persecution from ISIS and have seen their homes destroyed.
In his four-day, four-province tour of the country, Pope Francis will bring with him messages of peace and continued interreligious dialogue.
