Ur is considered the traditional birthplace of Abraham, the prophet common to Muslims, Christians and Jews. Francis traveled to the southern ruins of Ur on Saturday to reinforce his message of interreligious tolerance and fraternity during the first-ever papal visit to Iraq, a country riven by religious and ethnic divisions.
