    Interesting tidbit from the web:

    "Fidel also presented John Paul II with the Felix Varela Order medal, which consists of a gold-plated star whose five points are connected by a circle of the same material. At the center of the medal is a gold relief engraving of Father Varela, surrounded by a white enamel ring on which the name of the order is inscribed.

    Fidel explained that this is the highest distinction awarded by the Cuban state in the cultural sphere."
