Pope Francis entered the Blue Mosque in Istanbul Turkey, where he took off his shoes, and bowed toward Mecca and made his prayer, as he stood next to Istanbul’s Grand Mufti Rahmi Yaran.

The Blue Mosque has the head of St. John the Baptist...in a very fancy, beautiful gold, 10' high structure. That is the tradition and belief, of course. Who really knows, besides God?
Anyway, Muslim imams sit around it, 24/7 and pray. St. John is considered a very holy man in Islam.

We went there on a Steve Ray tour. I thought the entire idea those imams had was BIZARRE.
Oh well, God is their judge, not me.
