VATICAN CITY, Dec 17 — Pope Francis turned 87 today feted by children who helped him blow out a single candle on a white cake.
The children, from a Vatican-run paediatric clinic, sang for the pope and gave him a bouquet of sunflowers.
Later, at a traditional Christmas season event at his weekly address in St. Peter’s Square he blessed tiny statues of the infant Jesus held up by children who will place them in their nativity scenes at home.
The dozens of children in the square shouted “Buon Compleanno”, Italian for Happy Birthday, and held up signs with the same greeting.
