  "summary": "Pope Leo XIV, also known as Robert Prevost, led a youth prayer vigil at Lima's National Stadium, drawing tens of thousands of spectators. The event, part of the pontiff's 12-day tour of South America, saw around 60,000 people pack the stadium and an estimated 300,000 more gather outside. As darkness fell, tens of thousands switched on their phone torches, illuminating the stands amid a chorus of singing and chanting. The visit holds deep personal significance for the American-born pope, who spent over two decades serving the Church in Peru before becoming a naturalised Peruvian citizen in 2015.",
