Francis give the blessing to the coca leaves
Francis welcomed an indigenous group from Argentina to the Vatican's Apostolic Palace.
As a gift, they gave the Pope coca leaves, which they consider to be a sacred plant. Even though some misuse it, she said, they represent wisdom from their elders, who for generations have 'read' the leaves.
