Due Papi, un milione di pellegrini.
Two popes canonized and nearly one million pilgrims arrived in droves from all over the Catholic world and mostly from Poland.
That of 26/27 April 2014, and a long night of waiting that will go down in history, you have to be there.
The vigil of prayer and singing covers of slowly makeshift tents and sleeping bags every available space near St. Peter's Square to go off to sleep.
Many will never be able to even get in the embrace of Bernini's colonnade, but no matter. You wake up wet grass grows while the commotion in the chaos of a city composed by colored raincoats and flags of distant countries.
A few drops from the sky. And 'dark gray but it held. There are two new saints and there is also time to take a picture.
