The world is watching as the iconic chimney atop the Sistine Chapel is readied to signal the election of a new Pope. Starting May 7, the conclave will take place, with cardinals gathering in secrecy to elect a successor to St. Peter. The chapel is undergoing final preparations, including setting up essential systems and translation services, while the cardinals prepare to vote after a sacred prayer ceremony. Once the new Pope is elected, the world will await the smoke and bells announcing the choice of the new leader of the Catholic Church.
