Headline Visit of His Holiness Pope Paul VI to the United Nations

Caption Description In an unprecedented visit to the United Nations today, His Holiness Pope Paul VI made a special appeal for world peace before the United Nations General Assembly.
At a small reception in the Secretary-General’s office, His Holiness Pope Paul VI, presented to Secretary-General U Thant, a diamond cross and ring as a gift to the United Nations. In addition, the Pope presented to the UN a painting, “Christ Crucified”, by Rouault. As a personal gift, the Pope gave the Secretary-General a bronze sculpture of a flame, a symbol of love and peace; an autographed portrait in a silver frame; a red leather case containing three medals; and a set of Vatican stamps commemorating his visit to the UN. The Secretary-General, in turn, presented the Pope with the International Cooperation Year medal. He also gave him, as a personal gift, a Burmese silver bowl in a wooden box. The bowl is inscribed with the words “…he who conquers himself, he, indeed, is the greatest of conquerors” – an inscription taken from The Dhammapada, a classic Buddhist scripture. Also inscribed on the bowl are the words “on the occasion of the visit of His Holiness Pope Paul VI to the United Nations – Maung Thant, Secretary-General, 4 October 1965.” The Pope gave President Fanfani of the General Assembly a painting by Sileo Cousador; a red leather case containing three medallions; an autographed portrait in a silver frame; and a set of Vatican stamps commemorating his visit to the UN.
