Lithuanian newspaper Kauno diena reports that Wednesday a photo exhibition illustrating Pope Francis’s visit to Israel opened at the Old Town Hall in Kaunas. The exhibit has travelled around Lithuania for a year now and attracts keen interest, although Pope Francis’s visit to Israel was 2 years ago now, the newspaper reports.

“The exhibit talks about building bridges, which is what the Pope calls joining together people of separate religions and separate cultures. The Pope invites us to build these bridges, to meet one another, to talk, to get to know each other. That which connects leads to that which is good,” the newspaper quoted Kaunas archbishop Lionginas Virbalas.

The word “pontiff” comes from the Latin pontifex, “builder of bridges,” and was used to designate the high priest, pontifex maximus, in pagan Rome. Pope Benedict XVI introduced it as his twitter handle, @Pontifex, which remains the papal twitter address following his retirement.
