Two living popes came together to mark the moment when two former popes were declared saints.The streets of Vatican City were bursting with almost a million pilgrims from all over the world eager to witness the epoch-making day in the history of the Roman Catholic Church.It is the first time that two popes have been made saints at the same time.The devotion of generations of Catholics for John Paul II and John XXIII fuelled the religious fervour that gripped the city, on a day dubbed by worshippers to be the ‘day of four popes’.As former Pope Benedict XVI looked on, Pope Francis told the sea of pilgrims that both popes were ‘men of courage, who lived through times of tragedy but were not cowed by them’.They came from far and wide. Almost 100 foreign delegations, including the King and Queen of Spain, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester,  representing the UK, were at the ceremony, along with 150 cardinals and 700 bishops.Making a controversial appearance was Robert Mugabe, who was able to flout his EU travel ban because the Vatican is exempt from European rules. The Zimbabwean dictator later took advantage of a photo opportunity with Francis.(dailymail.co.uk) ANN.Az
