POPE JOHN PAUL II WAVES TO A CHILD DURING A MASS IN GUATEMALA CITY.
Pope John Paul II waves to a child in traditional Mayan dress during a
mass in Guatemala City July 30, 2002. With the spotlight again on his
health, the Pope presided over a ceremony to create Central America's
first saint as one of the longest tours of his 23-year papacy entered
its final stretch. Looking tired, the 82-year-old pontiff arrived in
Guatemala on Monday to a rapturous welcome and urged the country to
definitively bury its bloody past. REUTERS/Jorge Silva
