NEW POPE: PEOPLE RUN THROUGH STREETS OF ROME TO GET TO ST. PETER’S SQUARE

As soon as the news of the white smoke spread through the Italian capital, some people began running through the streets of Rome to get to St. Peter’s Square.

People continue to stream into the square from every alley that leads to the Vatican.

In the square itself, people are hugging and crying tears of joy.

While earlier the crowd was angling to get a good view of the Sistine Chapel chimney, they are now inching closer to the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica where the new pope is expected to emerge any moment.
