He also held Mass in Istanbul, renewing calls for Christian unity and celebrating the anniversary of the Nicaea Creed. As part of his journey, the Pope addressed local Christian communities, urging them to come together for a joint Jubilee in Jerusalem by 2033. His visit to Lebanon aimed to provide hope amidst ongoing tensions, as he seeks to be a messenger of harmony and dialogue in the region.
