The Vatican has issued an updated schedule of this month's papal visit to the Baltic states.
It said the trip would include a prayer in Vilnius, Lithuania, at a monument to members of the city's Jewish community who perished under Nazi occupation.
The Vatican published a detailed programme for the Pope's trip to Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, adding times for events that had been listed without them when the first schedule was published in early July.
The only addition to the itinerary, which includes visits to important Marian shrines and to places commemorating the nations' fight for liberty, is the stop for prayer on September 23 at the monument to victims forced by the Nazis into the Vilnius Ghetto. Under Nazi occupation, the city's Jewish population went from an estimated 40,000 to zero. Most were taken in groups to the woods outside the city and shot.
