Jerusalem (kath.net / pl) On the Internet circulating a photo of the Western Wall with two suns. The alleged photo was created, it is claimed, while Pope Francis had during his Holy Land tour stopped in May 2014 in Jerusalem. Apparently there are people who think the photo is genuine. The historian and author Michael Hesemann was flown specially for the Pope's trip to Israel and stayed close attention to the time in Jerusalem, during which the alleged "sun miracle" would have taken place.
kath.net: Mr. Hesemann, you were an eyewitness: What exactly made the sun during the Pope's visit to the Temple Mount?
Hesemann: Yes, I was during the Pope's visit to Jerusalem. Due to the high level of security and the fact that the press was not admitted to most events - only to encounter with the Ecumenical Patriarch in the Holy Sepulchre, I had access - I followed the Holy Father's visit to the Western Wall and Yad Vashem yet in the press, and then turning to use the time for a tour of Jerusalem. Of course, I also visited the Wailing Wall a visit, just hours after the Pope. Overall, I was from 11.00 bis 16.30 clock on the way, I went to the Pope's departure at Ben Gurion Airport.
And I can assure you: All the time the sun behaved normally.
kath.net: Never the less there are allegations of a sun miracle. What is it exactly and what proofs are given for this?

Hesemann: Since Wednesday said photo was circulated (see the very bottom) on the Internet, it claimed two suns would have appeared at 14:30 in the sky over Jerusalem, was photographed and filmed. The "photographic evidence" shows the phenomenon over the Western Wall and the Mount of Olives.
