Pope Francis embraces rabbi and Muslim leader at Western Wall | Photo

On his last day in the Holy Land, Pope Francis prayed at the Western Wall, the holiest site in Judaism, before an emotional hug with two old friends ��a Muslim leader and a rabbi.

Francis stood at the Wall for more than a minute and a half, most of the time in silent prayer, before reciting the Our Father. Then he followed custom by leaving a written message inside a crack between two blocks.

He was accompanied by his two friends Rabbi Abraham Skorka and Omar Abboud.
