On May 8, 2025, Robert Prevost was chosen as Pope Leo XIV, becoming the 267th pontiff and the first pontiff originating from the United States, during the conclave held at the Vatican.
The conclave ended with Prevost's election following years of missionary service in Peru, which addressed the Catholic Church's leadership succession after Pope Francis.
At the same time, global happenings included a lively celebration in Portobelo, Panama on May 3, nationwide civil-defense exercises conducted in India on May 7, and a music therapy session held at a hospital in Corsica on May 6.
Additional commemorations featured a 30,000 ceramic poppy display at the Tower of London on May 6 and a gunpowder detonation in Mexico City on May 5 marking significant historical dates.
These concurrent religious, cultural, and security activities highlight global engagement in tradition, remembrance, and preparedness during early May 2025.
