Pope Benedict XVI is currently visiting Poland on his third pilgrimage. The motto of his pilgrimage to the home country of previous Pope, John Paul II, is "Stand firm in your faith". The Pope arrived at Okecie airport in Warsaw on May 25. He met with President Lech Kaczynski and prayed in an evangelic-augsburg church together with representatives of seven minor Polish churches. The following day he said mass at Pilsudski Square, mirroring a precedent set by his predecessor 27 years earlier. Benedict XVI talked in Latin and in small parts in Polish. Later that day he went to Czestochowa.
