History's first American leader of the Catholic Church was presented with the pallium , a strip of lambswool representing his role as a shepherd.
He was also given the Fisherman's Ring, in honour of the first pope, Saint Peter.
It is understood, the Vatican said that the Pope will have a private meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky this afternoon.
