Pope Francis' visit to East Timor could be characterized as a success as more than 600,000 people joined him for Mass. The country's inhabitants expressed their appreciation for the trip in different gestures like how some knelt down to kiss his hands. Others laid their handkerchiefs on the ground for the Pope to walk over as a sign of respect. People crowded near the airport to see Pope Francis bid farewell to their country.
