Pope Paul VI became the first pope to visit six continents. He was also the first pontiff to travel on an airplane, visit the Holy Land on pilgrimage, and travel outside Italy in a century. He travelled more widely than any of his predecessors, earning the nickname "the Pilgrim Pope". He visited the [[Holy Land]] in 1964 and participated in [[Eucharistic congress]]es in [[Bombay]], India, and [[Bogotá]], Colombia. In 1966, he was twice denied permission to visit [[Polish People's Republic|Poland]] for the thousandth anniversary of the [[Christianization of Poland|introduction of Christianity in Poland]]. In 1967, he visited the shrine of [[Our Lady of Fátima]] in [[Portugal]] on the fiftieth anniversary of the [[Miracle of the Sun|apparitions]] there. He undertook a pastoral visit to Uganda in 1969,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.totus2us.co.uk/universal/uganda/pvi-pilgrim-visit-1969/|title=Pope Paul VI's Apostolic Pilgrimage to Uganda, 31st July – 2nd August 1969|access-date=29 October 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161030002840/http://www.totus2us.co.uk/universal/uganda/pvi-pilgrim-visit-1969/|archive-date=30 October 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> the first by a reigning pope to Africa.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://en.radiovaticana.va/news/2015/11/26/uganda_1969_paul_vi_the_first_pope_to_visit_africa__/1189796/|title=Uganda 1969: Paul VI the first Pope to visit Africa|access-date=29 October 2016|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170223213431/http://en.radiovaticana.va/news/2015/11/26/uganda_1969_paul_vi_the_first_pope_to_visit_africa__/1189796|archive-date=23 February 2017}}</ref> Pope Paul VI became the first reigning pontiff to visit the Western hemisphere when he addressed the United Nations in New York City in October 1965.{{efn|As a gesture of goodwill, the Pope gave to the UN two pieces of papal jewellery, a diamond cross<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.iconjewelsusa.com/popepaulviartifact|title=ICONJewels – Artifacts|website=Icon Jewels|access-date=12 February 2019|archive-date=13 February 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190213005731/https://www.iconjewelsusa.com/popepaulviartifact|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title = Pope Paul VI's Diamond Cross|url = http://arc.stparchive.com/Archive/ARC/ARC10151965p21.php|website = Rau Antiques|access-date = 5 October 2015|archive-date = 6 October 2015|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20151006113413/http://arc.stparchive.com/Archive/ARC/ARC10151965p21.php|url-status = dead}}</ref> and ring,<ref>{{Cite web|title = Pope Paul VI's Diamond Ring|url = http://arc.stparchive.com/Archive/ARC/ARC10151965p21.php|website = Rau Antiques|access-date = 5 October 2015|archive-date = 6 October 2015|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20151006113413/http://arc.stparchive.com/Archive/ARC/ARC10151965p21.php|url-status = dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title = Diamond Jewelry Owned By Pope Paul VI On Sale For $1.9 Million|url = https://www.forbes.com/sites/anthonydemarco/2014/03/19/diamond-jewelry-owned-by-pope-paul-vi-on-sale-for-1-9-million/|website = Forbes|access-date = 23 November 2015|archive-date = 24 November 2015|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20151124145648/http://www.forbes.com/sites/anthonydemarco/2014/03/19/diamond-jewelry-owned-by-pope-paul-vi-on-sale-for-1-9-million/|url-status = live}}</ref> with the hopes that the proceeds from their sale at auction would contribute to the UN's efforts to end human suffering.}} As the U.S. involvement in the [[Vietnam War]] was escalating, Paul VI pleaded for peace before the U.N.:
