Pope Leo received a warm welcome on Monday as he arrived at Harissa, one of Lebanon’s most important Christian pilgrimage sites, marking another key moment in his closely watched visit to the crisis-hit country. Worshippers lined the approach to the Basilica of Our Lady of Lebanon, waving flags, singing hymns, and greeting the pontiff as he stepped onto the hillside sanctuary overlooking the Mediterranean. The visit underscores the Vatican’s message of solidarity with Lebanon’s Christian community and its broader call for unity at a time of political paralysis, economic turmoil, and regional instability.
