On 17 December 2015, the Vatican Press Office confirmed that Pope Francis recognized a second miracle attributed to Mother Teresa: the healing of a Brazilian man with multiple brain tumors back in 2008. The miracle first came to the attention of the postulation (officials managing the cause) during the events of World Youth Day 2013 when the pope was in Brazil that July. A subsequent investigation took place in Brazil from 19–26 June 2015 which was later transferred to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints who issued a decree recognizing the investigation to be completed. 
Pope Francis canonized Mother Teresa at a ceremony on 4 September 2016 in St. Peter's Square in Vatican City. Tens of thousands of people witnessed the ceremony, including 15 government delegations and 1,500 homeless people from across Italy. It was televised live on the Vatican channel and streamed online. Skopje, Macedonia, Mother Teresa's hometown, announced a week-long celebration of her canonization. In India, a special Mass was celebrated by the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta. Her feast day is celebrated on September 5, the day she died.
