Groups of pilgrims will leave neighbouring Belarus later tonight to join pope Benedict XVI along his route in Poland. All catholic bishops from Belarus will also attend the ceremonies. More than 25 hundred Belarusian pilgrims are expected in Poland at the time of the pope's visit. The Polish side temporarily lifted some of its visa restrictions to encourage Belarusian Catholics to come to Poland.
