Sorry, Tawanna. You were a bit late in asking this on May 20.

The pope's great trip to Romania (Bucharest, etc.) took place on May 7, 8, and 9, 1999. It was the first papal journey to a majority Orthodox nation in almost 1,000 years (though the man who would become Pope John XXIII, Bishop Angelo Roncalli, was a papal "ambassador" to Bulgaria).
