A decade after Argentine Jorge Bergoglio became Pope Francis, a large group of his most fervent followers gathered to celebrate his 10th anniversary at the iconic catholic temple Our Lady of Luján.

Francis left Argentina in February 2013 to attend the conclave that elected him as the successor to Benedict XVI on March 13, when he became the first Latin American to lead the Catholic Church. He has never returned to Argentina since then, but his followers hope he will soon make the long-awaited visit to their homeland.
