Franciscan Monk Carries Torch

A Franciscan monk carries a torch that received the blessing of Pope Benedict XVI upon arrival in Bethlehem on 18 April 2008 during the fifth annual John Paul II Pilgrimage Peace Marathon from the West Bank town to Jerusalem.

The marathon is an encounter between pilgrims from Italy and other European countries and athletes from Palestine, both Jewish and Arab.
