    A timeline of John Paul II's life

    04/01/2005

    2001: He makes a pilgrimage to Greece, Syria and Malta following in the
    footsteps of St. Paul. On a visit to Ukraine, he offers a prayer for
    Holocaust victims at Babi Yar, scene of a particularly brutal mass
    extermination of Jews by Nazis in 1941.

    Days after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in New York, Washington and in a
    plane over Pennsylvania, he says he's going ahead with a visit in late
    September to the predominantly Muslim country of Kazakstan. On that visit,
    he tells the mixed Muslim and Christian audiences that the Catholic Church
    respects Islam. The pope condemns the Sept. 11 attacks and supports measures
    to bring those responsible to justice.

    In a visit to Armenia, he marks the 1,700th anniversary of that nation's
    conversion to Christianity.
