Pope Benedict XVI arrived in Lebanon today for a three-day visit in which he is expected to bring a message of peace and reconciliation to Christians and Muslims, said an Agence France-Presse correspondent at Rafiq Hariri International Airport.

The pope, who left a rainy Rome late morning, arrived to sunny skies and pleasant temperatures.
