In an act of Olympic unity, representatives from the five major religions of the world gathered for a multi-faith meeting on Sunday, August 4.
Standing outside the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, the leaders and some 100 Olympic chaplains celebrated the spirit of fraternity during the most important sports event in the world.
They spoke freely, praying and reading religious texts together.
The Holy See’s envoy to the Olympics says the leaders chose Notre Dame because of its deep religious significance to Christians, and because it “speaks to all people” across the world.
