Pope Leo arrived at Beirut’s historic Martyrs’ Square for a major interreligious gathering, marking one of the most symbolic moments of his visit to Lebanon. The pontiff was greeted by crowds of worshippers, clergy, and representatives from Lebanon’s diverse religious communities, all coming together at a time of deep political and economic strain in the country. The event highlights the Vatican’s ongoing call for unity, dialogue, and national reconciliation amid rising regional tensions.
Martyrs’ Square, long a landmark of Lebanese identity and struggle, served as a powerful backdrop as Pope Leo delivered remarks centered on peace, coexistence, and shared responsibility between faith groups. His arrival follows several key stops across Lebanon where he has urged political leaders and citizens alike to reject division and reaffirm the values of solidarity and hope.
