Vatican City, 18 May
Pope Leo XIV took his first
popemobile ride through St Peter's Square ahead of installation on Sunday,
waving from the back of the open-back truck to the crowd waving flags and
cheering “Viva il Papa!”
The
bells of St Peter's Basilica tolled as Leo waved from the back of the truck
that looped slowly through the square. The crowd cheered and plenty of
Peruvian, American and Holy See flags mixed in with flags of other nations and
banners.
Later
on Sunday, Leo, history's first American pope, will be installed in a formal ceremony attended by presidents, patriarchs and princes.
