A Beautiful Photographic Album of Pope John Paul II

Although the title of this handsome book is about the Pope's visit to America, it is much more than that. There is a brief section on Pope John Paul II's visit to his native Poland, including the German Nazi Death Camp at Auschwitz. There are pictures of the Pope's visit to Mexico in 1979, and his later visit to Lagos, Nigeria. There is brief mention of his trip to South Korea and Thailand. There are also photos of his forgiveness of Mehmet Agca, and his being greeted by then-President Reagan on US soil. The US cities the Pope visited included New Orleans, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Detroit, Boston, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Des Moines, and Columbia, SC. This book is a memorable keepsake.
