Representatives of world religions gather in Assisi for peace meeting (Community of Sant'Egidio)
Representatives of various religions, prelates, and scholars gathered in Assisi for a three-day international peace meeting that concludes today. The event takes place four decades after the 1986 day of prayer for peace held by Pope John Paul II.
The meeting ends with scheduled prayer sessions. Christians will pray in the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, while non-Christians will pray at different locations outside the basilica.
Pope Leo XIV was scheduled to travel to Assisi for the meeting but cancelled his visit following recent lung surgery.
