Is that in regards to the controversial picture of JPII kissing the Koran, and a possible explaination thereof? Sorry for butting in if not, I was just wondering (as I've heard a few deny the picture, call it a hoax, etc)
No this is an Icon of Our Lady of Kazan that was given back to Russia.
I think it was just a sign of respect for a gift that was holy to those giving that gift.
