Pope Francis wrote the Lord’s Prayer in Spanish on a note he left in the Western Wall.
The Western Wall Heritage Foundation released the contents of the note placed between the stones of the Kotel during the pope’s visit on Monday.
The note, signed “Francis,” was written on papal letterhead.
The Lord’s Prayer, also known as “Our Father,” is a central prayer in Christianity.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
