Vatican City, Vatican - December 2019 - On December 19, at the end of the morning audience, Pope Francis met refugees who have recently arrived from Lesbos via humanitarian corridors. The Holy Father had a cross placed in the access to the Apostolic Palace from the Belvedere Courtyard in memory of migrants and refugees: "I decided to exhibit here this life jacket, 'crucifix' on this cross, to remind us that we must keep our eyes open, keep the heart open, to remind everyone of the mandatory effort to save every human life, a moral duty that unites believers and non-believers."
