Pope Francis Visits Iraqi Region Where Cities And Lives Were Shattered By ISIS

The archbishop of Mosul, Najib Mikhael Moussa, left, waves as he stands next to Pope Francis at the start of a gathering to pray for the victims of war at the Hosh al-Bieaa Church Square, in Mosul, Iraq, once the de-facto capital of ISIS on March 7, 2021.

The pope spent the third day of his visit in the north of the country, where the Christian population is dwindling. He also prayed for the ethnic minority Yazidis, who were brutally targeted by ISIS.
