Celebrating his 81st birthday, Pope Francis blew out the candles on a 13-foot long pizza after being serenaded with song and dance by children and employees from a Vatican paediatric clinic. A group of children receiving assistance from the Vatican's St. Martha Dispensary, a maternal and paediatric clinic, had given the pope a birthday party on 17 December.
