“It would be a great joy for us to be able to pray before a gift of the Pope, even if for a short time,” one of the faithful said to AsiaNews.

On Saturday, Aug. 28, a Vatican delegation led by Cardinal Walter Kasper, President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, will hand the icon to Patriarch Alexy II as a gift of John Paul II to the Orthodox Church.
