Pope Francis leads a canonisation mass for Joseph Vaz in the Sri Lankan capital Colombo on January 14, 2015. Hundreds of thousands of Sri Lankans crowded the Colombo seafront to take part in a vibrant open-air mass by Pope Francis, in one of the biggest public gatherings the city has ever witnessed. Many worshippers had waited all night for a glimpse of Francis, who canonised Sri Lanka's first saint, the 17th century missionary Joseph Vaz, during the colourful ceremony on Colombo's imposing Galle Face Green overlooking the Indian Ocean.
