A historic moment unfolded in Vatican City as white smoke billowed from the Sistine Chapel, signaling the election of a new pope. On only the first full day of voting, the 133 cardinal electors made their choice behind closed doors. As bells rang out across St. Peter's Square, thousands erupted in joy, awaiting the reveal of the next spiritual leader of 1.4 billion Catholics. The newly elected pontiff will soon be introduced from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica, marking a new era after Pope Francis' 12-year reign.

Black smoke rose from the Sistine Chapel chimney on Wednesday night, signaling no pope was elected in the first vote of the Vatican conclave. Over 45,000 gathered in St. Peter’s Square hoping for white smoke that would signal a new pontiff. Cardinals will resume voting Thursday. The conclave follows the death of Pope Francis, and all eyes are on the Vatican for a historic moment. Tensions and anticipation remain high as the secretive selection process continues behind closed doors. A two-thirds majority is required to elect the next spiritual leader of 1.4 billion Catholics.
