February 27, 2013. (Romereports.com) (-ONLY VIDEO-) Pilgrims flooded St. Peter's Square and Via della Conciliazione as Benedict XVI prepares for his last public event as Pope.
Only
people with one of 50,000 tickets were allowed inside the seated areas
of St. Peter's Square. But that didn't stop other pilgrims from coming
to hear Benedict XVI say goodbye.
The city of Rome also provided giant screens all along Via della Conciliazione to make it easier for them to see and hear the Pope.
In all, approximately 200,000 people are expected to attend the general audience, a number similar to the Pope's last Angelus this past Sunday.
