Vatican Returns Parthenon Fragments to Greece in Historic Move.

TL;DR Summary
Three fragments of the Parthenon sculptures kept by the Vatican for centuries have been returned to Greece and unveiled at the Acropolis Museum in Athens. The decision to return the 2,500-year-old marbles was announced by Pope Francis last year, who described the decision as a gesture of friendship. Greek officials highlighted that the return of the fragments was a step to the further return of Parthenon sculptures, primarily referring to the much bigger collection held in the British Museum that Greece has been trying to recover for decades.
