Preparations specially made for the reception of Pope Francis are almost completed in the city of Qaraqosh (Bakhdida), which will be one of the places the Pope is set to visit during his historic trip to Iraq.
The strict security measures imposed on the streets of the city could be seen on Thursday, as well as the preparations at the Immaculate Church, where the Pope is set to recite the Angelus Prayers with believers next Sunday.
A team consisting of several young people and children who have volunteered to recite hymns in front of the Pope can also be seen. Such recitation is seen as an important spiritual ritual.
The city’s streets have seen several festivals to welcome the arrival of the Pope, organised by local organisations with the aim of bringing happiness to the community.
