Photos: Pope Leo draws hundreds of thousands for open-air Mass in Paris

Over 800,000 people attended an outdoor Mass led by Pope Leo XIV on the Champs-Élysées in Paris. The pope traveled 2 km in his papamobile to greet the cheering crowd before celebrating the Mass at Place de la Concorde, a historically significant site. The choice of location drew criticism from secularists due to its association with the French Republic. During the event, the pope urged attendees to share their faith openly and let it inspire others.
