Music legend Bob Dylan just met Pope Leo XIV at the Apostolic Palace in Rome during his Italian tour stop.
Dylan, now 85, brought along a copy of his autobiography for the Pope and received a rosary in return, a pretty meaningful exchange between two icons.
Dylan performed for John Paul II
This isn't Dylan's first time meeting a Pope.
Back in 1997, he performed for Pope John Paul II, who even quoted "Blowin' in the Wind" during his sermon, showing just how much Dylan's music resonates beyond concerts.
