Catholic and Protestant church leaders from Ireland have travelled to Rome to mark the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement.
They are taking part in an ecumenical prayer service and a seminar, to reflect on events since the peace deal was signed in Belfast in 1998.
In a joint statement, the Irish church leaders said the agreement had saved "countless" lives in the past 25 years.
Among those involved are the head of the Catholic Church in Ireland.
Archbishop Eamon Martin will be joined by the Reverend Dr Sam Mawhinney, head of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland.
