Pope John XXIII (25 November 1881 – 3 June 1963) and Pope John Paul II (18 May 1920 – 2 April 2005) reigned as popes of the Roman Catholic Church and the sovereigns of Vatican City (respectively from 1958 to 1963 and 1978 to 2005). Their canonizations were held on 27 April 2014.[1] The decision to canonize was made official by Pope Francis on 5 July 2013 following the recognition of a miracle attributed to the intercession of John Paul II, while John XXIII was canonized for his merits of opening the Second Vatican Council. The date of the canonization was assigned on 30 September 2013.[2][3]

The Canonization Mass was celebrated by Pope Francis (with Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI concelebrating), on Sunday 27 April 2014, in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican in Rome on the morning of Divine Mercy Sunday, the Second Sunday of Easter and the end of the Octave of Easter (Pope John Paul had died on its vigil in 2005, on a different date).[4][5] Up to 150 Cardinals and 1,000 Bishops were expected to concelebrate the Mass, and at least a million were expected to attend.[6][7]

People present at the canonization

98 delegations of States or international organizations were present for the canonization in Rome, including 19 heads of state and 24 heads of government.[8]
