MORELIA, Mexico (KABC) -- A thousand people stood in formation to create the face of Pope Francis and a welcoming message during the pontiff's historic visit to Mexico.
The image spelled out "bienvenido a Morelia," which means "welcome to Morelia."
The uplifting image was shot from Francis' vantage point.
In his Tuesday visit to Morelia, Michoacan, known as a hotbed for Mexico's drug trade, Pope Francis urged Mexico's priests to fight injustice as they're surrounded by drug-fueled violence and corruption.
