Pope Paul VI made the first-ever papal visit to Israel on January 4, 1968. He dedicated the trip to “Christian unity,”  especially between Catholics and the Greek Orthodox church. This visit of Pope Paul VI laid the foundation for future popes, and the Catholic world, to begin reconciling with their Jewish brethren. During his visit the Pope: <ul><li>Met with President Shazar in Megiddo</li>
<li>Visited the Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth</li>
<li>Met with Patriarch Athenagoras</li>
<li>Toured of sites on the shores of the Sea of Galilee</li>
<li>Held ceremonies on Mount Zion in Jerusalem</li>
<li>Celebrated Mass in Bethlehem</li></ul><br>
Upon his return to St. Peter’s Square, Paul VI said that the trip to Israel was short but significant.
“You will have seen that my visit was not just an unusual spiritual event; this visit could be of enormous historical importance,” a “Vatican Insider” reported him as saying.<br><br>
