Memorial items of the Pope John XXIII are laid on the foot of Pope John XXIII statue at the parish church in Sotto il Monte Giovanni XXIII, northern Italy, the town of John XXIII, while the canonization of Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II was taking place at the Vatican, Sunday, April 27, 2014. Pope Francis declared his two predecessors John XXIII and John Paul II saints before some 800,000 people on Sunday, an unprecedented ceremony made even more historic by the presence in St. Peter's Square of emeritus Pope Benedict XVI.
