The strong winds that were blowing in the wider area of ”Eleftherios Venizelos” airport today, resulted in Pope Francis losing his balance and stumbling while boarding the plane to leave Greece, earlier on Monday morning.
The Pope’s unfortunate moment had no other consequences for him, as he stood on his feet again without being injured by the help of a security guard and when he arrived at the entrance of the aircraft, he greeted the attendees with a smile at his official farewell event.
A similar incident, in which Pope Francis had lost his balance, had occurred last September, during his visit to the United States.
The Roman Pontiff wrapped up a three-day official visit to Greece and Cyprus, where he met with state officials and the religious leaders of the two countries.
