In the most Holy City in the world, Pope Francis brings together the world's three greatest religions with a joint hug for a Jew and a Muslim

An honour guard greeted Pope Francis as he touched down in Amman at the start of his three-day trip to boost understanding between Christians and Muslims

 

• Pope Francis has invited the presidents of Israel and Palestine to the Vatican for prayers and talks early next month
• The Pontiff prayed at the Western Wall and the Dome of the Rock - two of the holiest sites in Judaism and Islam
• He also visited a Holocaust memorial where he met several survivors of the Nazi regime and kissed their hands
