POPE FRANCIS CELEBRATED Family Weekend at the Vatican in the past few days, hosting a huge gathering for parents and children at St Peter’s Square.
On Saturday evening while meeting with participants in the Pilgrimage for Families a small boy approached the Pope for a closer look.
One of the attending cardinals attempted to move the child, but he was having none of it:
The boy even escorted some more people up on stage to meet the Pope:
He remained on stage with Pope Francis during his speech:
And he even got to sit on the Pontiff’s chair:
The little boy’s star turn can be viewed from around the 3 minute 19 second mark in this livestream capture of the entire event:
