Pope Francis, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, has just finished up his three-nation tour of Africa in which he preached reconciliation and hope and that Christians and Muslims are "brothers" in the war-torn Central African Republic.
The first modern pope to enter a war zone, Francis' arrival on Sunday in Bangui, a former French colony and the capital of the Central African Republic, has lit up the Internet.
This was after Gianluigi Guercia, a photographer working for the AFP, took a photo of the Pope looking like he was going to drop the mic after giving his blessings at a displaced persons camp.
This gave rise to the #PopeBars hashtag and an Internet meme was born.
Here are the best reactions from Twitter:
"God had a mixtape he named it the Bible, Jesus had a rap crew called it the disciples" #PopeBars pic.twitter.com/s9bu5PfHci
