Answer: Each year the Vatican Post Office has issued a set of stamps honoring the Pontificate of Pope Francis.

He used to love to go dancing the tango with friends in his youth. On his 78th birthday in 2014, thousands of people danced the 'tango' on St Peter’s Square to celebrate the Pope’s birthday. 2021 with Pope Francis: (Source: www.VaticanNews.va) 1. Pope Francis began the year with these words - “While we hope for new beginnings and new cures, let us not neglect care. Together with a vaccine for our bodies, we need a vaccine for our hearts. That vaccine is care. This will be a good year if we take care of others…” 2. Pilgrimage to Iraq - Pope Francis made himself present as a "pilgrim," also meeting Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, a pivotal figure in Shiite Islam. And from Mosul, the scene of torture and executions in the past, he raised a cry to the heavens against all forms of violence carried out in the name of God. 3. Reforms - Pope Francis published eight personal priorities from January to November, which introduced changes and innovations in the pastoral, financial, and judicial spheres. 4. 2 trials before the Vatican Tribunal - one for alleged sexual abuse in the Saint Pius X Pre-Seminary and a trial for alleged financial wrongdoing concerning funds from the Secretariat of State. 5.Surgical operation at Gemelli - a pre-planned operation for diverticular stenosis. 6. Vaccines and the poor - the Pope called for equitable distribution and rapid access to the vaccines, especially in the poorest areas of the world. 7. An unprecedented synodal path - Pope Francis introduced one of the most important novelties from an ecclesial point of view: the opening of a three-year-long synodal path, which will commence “from below,” that is, from the faithful – but also from every part of the world.
