Pope Francis begins a historic visit to Iraq on Friday, the first by a pontiff to the birthplace of the Eastern Churches from where more than a million Christians have fled over the past 20 years.I wish the Pope and his Iraqi followers well during this visit. There has been much preparation for it. I imagine it will touch on some ancient history of interest to PaleoJudaica. Stay tuned.
