View of tapestries representing the new five beatified during the beatification ceremony in St. Peter's Square March 23, 2003. Pope John Paul, who has emerged in recent weeks as one of the most powerful anti-war voices, prayed on Sunday for victims of the Iraq war and their families. Speaking to tens of thousands of people in St. Peter's Square, the Pope asked to Virgin Mary to help bring about peace. The old Pontiff, who already has set records for creating saints, on Sunday puts five more people on the road to Roman Catholic sainthood during a solemn ceremony. REUTERS/Max Rossi MR
