4. Mother Teresa becomes a saint.

Mother Teresa has been canonised by the Roman Catholic Church at a ceremony in Vatican City.

More than 100,000 people crowded St Peter’s Square to watch the Nobel Peace Prize laureate be officially declared a saint by Pope Francis, 19 years after her death.

The Albanian, who was globally recognised for her charitable work in the slums of Kolcata, India, was credited with two miracles: healing an Indian woman from stomach cancer in 1998 and a Brazilian man from a brain infection in 2008.

Pope Francis’s predecessor John Paul II bent Vatican rules to fast-track Mother Teresa to sainthood in 1997 – two years after her death, and therefore three years earlier than traditionally permitted.
