Pope Benedict XVI waves from the steps of an Alitalia plane in Rome’s Fiumicino International airport on June 4, 2010. The pontiff left Rome on a trip to Cyprus made sensitive by renewed Middle East tensions and opposition from the divided island’s majority Orthodox community. The pope arrives in Cyprus in the early afternoon to start the three day trip, his first official visit to an Orthodox country.
