Lesbos is preparing for a possible second visit by the Pope. A delegation from the Vatican traveled there to get an idea of the logistics necessary for another papal trip.<\/p>\n
In early September, during an interview with Spanish radio COPE, Pope Francis assured that he planned on visiting Greece.<\/p>\n
The trip could take place in early December and could include a leg in Cyprus and maybe even Lebanon. The Vatican has already ruled out a trip to Malta.<\/p>\n
The Pope could also visit other Greek cities.<\/p>\n
What is clear is that in Greece, he has three important matters to address: the migration crisis, the European Union's situation and relations between Catholics and Orthodox Christians.<\/p>\n
Pope Francis' visit to Lesbos in 2016 was a moving trip, since Lesbos is at the center of the European migration crisis.<\/p>\n
The Pope surprised the world when he returned to Rome with a number of migrant families, for whom he found housing in Rome.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
