Pope Francis drives through the crowds during the Inauguration Mass for the Pope in St. Peter's Square on March 19, 2013, in Vatican City, Vatican. The mass was held in front of an expected crowd of up to one million pilgrims and faithful who filled the square and the surrounding streets to see the former Cardinal of Buenos Aires officially take up his role as pontiff.
