Pope welcomed by Christian community in Qaraqosh

(7 Mar 2021) Hundreds of cheering well-wishers lined the streets of Qaraqosh as Pope Francis' motorcade made its way to the Church of the Immaculate Conception, where he held a service.
Francis is visiting the Christian community on the Nineveh Plains of northern Iraq where only a fraction of families have returned after fleeing the IS group onslaught in 2014.
The Pope was scheduled to wrap up his visit with a Mass at a stadium in Irbil, in the semi-autonomous northern Kurdish region, that is expected to draw as many as 10,000 people.
