🕊️ How the Papal Conclave Works 🇻🇦

Ever wonder how the next Pope is chosen? It all happens inside the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City during what's called a conclave — Latin for “with a key,” because the cardinals are literally locked in until a decision is made.

Here's how it works 👇

🔐 Cardinals under the age of 80 gather in total secrecy. No phones, no media — just prayer, ballots, and intense reflection.

🗳️ Votes are cast up to four times a day. After each round, the ballots are burned in a special stove. None knows how long it'll last.

☁️ The smoke is the world’s signal:

Black smoke = No Pope yet.

White smoke = A new Pope has been chosen!

📍 If you’re in St. Peter’s Square these days, look towards the right of the dome, and to the buildings immediately adjacent. There's a series of small roofs. You will look for the roof of the Sistine Chapel — a small chimney is installed just for this purpose. The moment white smoke rises, cheers erupt and the bells of St. Peter’s Basilica ring out. You never know, you just might be in the right place at right time! 🤩

First smoke signal will be around 7:15pm this evening, May 7 2025. The Conclave has officially started!

A 2,000-year-old Church still using smoke to speak to the world. ✨ Something you do not want to miss
