“We did it” Faith leaders historic embrace

Papal visit leads to embrace between Christian, Jew and Muslim at Wailing Wall

Pope Francis, Rabbi Abraham Skorka and Muslim leader Omar Abboud collapsed in a heartfelt embrace before the Western Wall.

As they hugged each other, they exclaimed, “We did it!”

The Rabbi, the Muslim leader and the Pope met each other in Buenos Aires. For years, the three have worked together to foster greater understanding between their faiths.

With this simple gesture, they showed that this type of action is possible.
