ISRAEL JERUSALEM POPE

Kidron Valley in Jerusalem where Pope Benedict XVI will hold mass

Workers pass between rows of flags showing the Jerusalem Cross, or the Crusader Cross, placed in the site in the Kidron Valley under the Old City walls of Jerusalem on 06 May 2009 where Pope Benedict XVI will pass as he holds a Holy Mass on May 12 during his 'pilgrimage' to the Holy Land. Thousands of worshippers and pilgrims will fill the valley between the olive trees on new earth that is being placed to reduce the dust. The flag of the Jerusalem Cross was given by Pope Urban II for use in the First Crusade in the year 1095, and the four smaller crosses are believed to symbolize the four corners of the world that Christianity spread to from Jerusalem, the center cross.
