Crowds are gathering1 at the Vatican in Rome, with up to a million expected for the inauguration2 Mass of Pope Francis.

将近一百万人聚集在罗马梵蒂冈,等候教皇弗朗西斯的就职弥撒。

Political and religious leaders from around the world are also attending the Mass in St Peter's Square, marking the official start of his papacy(教皇权).
 
The first pontiff from the Americas, Francis has suggested he will take a more modest approach than predecessors4
 
Francis was elected by a conclave5(秘密会议) of cardinals6(红衣主教) last week to take over from Benedict XVI.
 
Benedict became the first pontiff in 600 years to abdicate7(退位,放弃) last month. Citing his age, 85, he said he could no longer continue in the post. 
 
Papal ring
 
The BBC's Katya Adler, at the Vatican, says nuns8, priests and papal tourists were queuing for hours early on Tuesday, with some pushing and squabbling as they waited for police to open the barricades9 to St Peter's Square.
 
Pope Francis is scheduled to leave his temporary residence at Casa Santa Marta shortly before 09:00 (08:00 GMT) and tour St Peter's Square on a papal vehicle for about 15 minutes.
 
He will then go into St Peter's Basilica to don his vestments and stop at the tomb of St Peter.
 
The Mass is scheduled to begin at 09:30 in the main square, co-celebrated by around 180 clergymen, including Adolfo Nicolas, the superior general of Pope Francis' Jesuit order.
 
After delivering a homily, Francis will be presented with his papal pallium made of lambs' wool and the "fisherman's ring" bearing the image of St Paul holding two keys.
 
The Pope has asked for some of the pomp to be stripped away. The ring is second-hand10 and is made of silver plated in gold, not the solid gold worn by his predecessor3.
 
The list of attendees for Monday's Mass includes US Vice-President Joe Biden and the spiritual head of the Orthodox Church, Patriarch Bartholomew.
 
He will be the first Orthodox patriarch to attend a papal inauguration Mass since the two branches of Christianity split more than 1,000 years ago. 
 
Thirty-three groups of guests from various Christian11 Churches are expected in total, according to the Vatican, along with 16 delegations12 from Jewish communities, as well as representatives of other faiths.
 
The BBC's James Robbins, in Rome, says the ceremony will certainly be magnificent but perhaps more modest than in the past, with the Pope's profile more that of a global parish priest than a papal monarch13.
 
The homily will be in Italian, but our correspondent says the Vatican has warned Pope Francis is likely to stray from his prepared text to stress his manifesto14(宣言,声明) of seeking forgiveness and focusing on help for the poor.
