Pope has lunch with refugees at Moria camp on Lesbos


(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis had lunch on Saturday with a group of 8 refugees at a container inside the Moria refugee camp on the Greek island of Lesbos.

The Pope was accompanied on his visit to Lesbos by the Orthodox leader, the Ecumenical Patriarch of Costantinople, Bartholomew I, and the Greek Orthodox Archbishop of Athens and All Greece, Ieronymos II. The three spiritual leaders toured the Moria camp and met refugees and migrants being held inside it before sitting down to their lunch.

The meal was a simple one on account of it still being the Lenten season for the Orthodox Church.
