Summary

Description

Statue of Pope Benedict XV in the courtyard of St. Esprit Cathedral, Istanbul. It was erected by the solidly Moslem country of Turkey to commemorate Benedict's solicitude toward their people during World War I. The document in his left hand is a listing of names who, in their anguish, made claim on his universal fatherhood. Benedict established the office for prisoners of war, a charitable apostolate to put prisoners in communication with their loved ones at a time when there was no other international organization which could pierce the curtains of hostility. The statue was made by the Italian sculptor, Enrico Quattrini. The inscription reads:

To the Great Pope of the World's Tragic Hour
Benedict XV
Benefactor of the People
Without Discrimination of Nationality or Religion

A Token of Gratitude from the Orient
