More than a million people descended on Rome to take part in the beatification ceremony of the late Pope John Paul II.
More than 250,000 people have passed by coffin of beatified Pope John Paul II
In the same square where Pope John Paul II was shot by a would-be assassin almost 30 years ago, thousands of people returned to thank God for the gift of his life and for his beatification.
"We can never forget that 30 years ago, in this very square, he gave his blood for the cause of Christ," his longtime personal secretary, Polish Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz of Krakow, told an estimated 60,000 people gathered May 2 for the thanksgiving Mass.
