    June 4, 2013. (Romereports.com) The Pope welcomed the patriarch
    of Cilicia of Armenian Catholics, His Beatitude Nerses Bedros XIX
    Tarmouni. He also met with those who manage the Armenian seminary in
    Rome. The rector, who is quite young, joked with Pope Francis.

    As a gift, the Patriarch gave the Pope a bronze crucifix that actually
    had to be carried out by two people.

    This couple, also accompanied the Patriarch. The woman told the Pope
    that her family was a victim of the Armenian genocide back in 1915.
