For many, it is already considered a historic event at the Vatican. The 'Grace for the World' concert left behind messages like these, in front of more than 100,000 people.
A spectacular show featuring around 3,500 drones, lighting up the sky and creating shapes above the dome of the basilica.
There were also messages in support of Human Fraternity and world peace. For example, from Nelson Mandela's widow:
GRAÇA MACHEL
Widow of Nelson Mandela
We must commit to bringing a just peace everywhere violence has stripped us of our humanity.
Or from British supermodel Naomi Campbell.
NAOMI CAMPBELL
Model
It is our hope that everyone here tonight, and everyone around the world, and everyone watching, will hold with them love and light, today, tomorrow, and forever in their hearts.
There were also artists, like Pharrell Williams.

First and foremost, I want to sincerely thank His Holiness, Pope Leo, for opening the doors to this sacred place to us all, and for reminding us that true compassion and grace begin with fraternity—seeing one another as brothers, sisters, fellow human beings, and siblings.
In addition to the messages… there was plenty of music. For example, John Legend…
Although one of the most anticipated performances was this one… Andrea Bocelli and Karol G, performing the song 'Vivo por ella'.
A night with different faces and styles, united in a call for world peace and human fraternity.
