PAPAL TOUR. Pope Francis attends a welcome ceremony with Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg and his wife Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg at the Luxembourg Findel international airport, where he will start a four-day apostolic journey in Luxembourg and Belgium. AFPLUXEMBOURG — A visibly tired Pope Francis arrived in Luxembourg on Thursday, kicking off a four-day visit to the small nation and neighbouring Belgium that follows a gruelling Asia-Pacific trip.
The blue aircraft landed at Luxembourg Airport at 10:00 am , on the first stop of a trip to “the heart of Europe” that the pope will use to discuss the continent’s role in the world. Together, Luxembourg and Belgium host multiple major European institutions, making them a part of the world that others look to, said Matteo Bruni, director of the Holy See press office.
The head of the Catholic Church addressed Luxembourg authorities on Thursday morning and met a few hundred faithful at Notre-Dame Cathedral in the afternoon, during an eight-hour stay in the wealthy financial services hub.Jean Ehret, a priest and director of the Luxembourg School Of Religion & Society, described the occasion as “historic” and “unexpected”, quipping that the small Grand Duchy does not usually top a pontiff’s travel list.
