Pope wows worshippers with down-to-earth style
Pilgrims striving to make their way to St Peter’s Square in time for the new Pope’s first public recitation of the Angelus had to contend with closed-off roads, an absence of taxis, and queues to get through a level of security we normally associate with airports.
For the faithful, these were but minor obstacles. They arrived early, and in vast numbers, packing into St Peter’s Square, waiting in eager anticipation for the Pope’s apartment window to open.
