Papal visit ‘primarily spiritual’

The pontiff confirmed his May 8-15 visit to Jordan and the Holy Land during the end of his customary Sunday Angelus prayer through a live TV broadcast from the Vatican on Sunday.

. . . The visit to Jordan will be His Holiness' 12th international visit and the first to an Arab country since he became Pope in April 2005.

. . . Bishop Selim Sayegh, the Latin Patriarchal Vicar for Jordan, noted that the pilgrimage to Jordan is an assent to the invitation extended by His Majesty King Abdullah. He pointed out Jordan's biblical significance as a "blessed and holy land".

"The invitation from His Majesty was delivered personally to Pope Benedict XVI by Her Majesty Queen Rania during her private audience with His Holiness in 2007," Jordan Times
 
Jordan King Breaking Precedent to Greet Pope

The spokesman noted that King Abdallah II will welcome the Pontiff at the airport where he is scheduled to arrive at 2:30 p.m.. And in a particularly unusual gesture, he and Queen Rania will again accompany the Holy Father to the airport when he leaves on Monday.

Pope Benedict XVI underlined his "deep respect" for Islam in Jordan, on his first trip as pontiff to an Arab state, and stressed that religious freedom is a fundamental human right.

Twittering is a new way of communication. It's a free social messaging, which allows to normal people and everybody to send their "amatoring" videos and photos, via mobile, and to keep world informed in real time. Most time, some events when they happen, they are twittered and sent to fews millions twitters, only after few seconds, and much before professionnal agencies.

I think this happened with this Pope visit, few people twittred some pics and videos.
 
Thanks for all pictures and videos. Wonderful pictures of the family, but Husseins hair looks horrible :lol:. Rania looks beautiful.
