On April 20, 2008, Pope Benedict XVI visited Ground Zero, the site of the 9-11 World Trade Center tragedy. He was joined by 24 people who have been deeply affected by 9-11. These people included victims and their relatives. The Pope said a prayer, lit a candle, and sprinkled holy water on the site. After his visit to Ground Zero, the Pope proceeded to Yankee Stadium where he held a Papal mass.
