Pope Leo XIV welcomed home to Peru by crowds of about three million

According to Vatican estimates, about three million people had gathered along the Pope's route from the airport into Lima.

The Pope was born in the United States but served as a priest and bishop in Peru. He is a Peruvian and American citizen.

Just under a month after undergoing surgery for lung cancer, Pope Leo XIV began his visit to Latin America on Friday. The visit will now end in Peru.
