Their meeting was the first between the leaders of their respective churches, the two biggest denominations in Christianity, since a schism between them in 1054.
The two will sign a joint declaration on the persecution of Christians in places such as Iraq and Syria, after which Francis will continue on to Mexico for a visit, while Kirill will remain in Cuba for an official visit.
