Dressed in vibrant colors and wielding halberds and swords, the Swiss Guard look like they’ve stepped out of a Renaissance painting.

But don’t be fooled — these are elite soldiers.

What’s the story behind the world's smallest army? 🧵 ↓

1. Founded in 1506 by Pope Julius II, the Swiss Guard is one of the oldest military units still in operation.

Why Swiss?

In the 16th century, Swiss mercenaries were renowned across Europe for their discipline, loyalty, and ferocity in battle. Julius wanted the best.

2. Their most famous moment came in 1527 during the Sack of Rome.

Outnumbered, 147 of 189 guards died defending Pope Clement VII against 24,000 mutinous troops. Their sacrifice allowed the Pope to escape.

Every May 6, recruits swear their oath on this anniversary.

What if one man’s words could shape how we think about love, power, and fate?

April 23rd marks the birthday (and death day) of the greatest playwright in history.

Who was Shakespeare, really? 🧵 👇

William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, April 1564. A glove-maker’s son, he rose from humble roots to become a cultural titan. His life is a riddle wrapped in genius.

Shakespeare grew up in Stratford, likely attending grammar school where he studied Latin and rhetoric. But his early life remains a mystery, fueling centuries of speculation.

In 2025 years, the Catholic Church has crowned 266 popes.

Few were loved like Pope John Paul II — a poet, philosopher, and global icon.

Let’s dive into his extraordinary story. 🧵 ↓

Born Karol Wojtyła in 1920 in Wadowice, Poland, he grew up in a world of hardship.

His mother died when he was 8, his brother soon after. Nazi occupation forced him into manual labor.

Yet, he found solace in poetry and faith.

Under Nazi rule, Karol risked his life studying theology in a secret seminary. By night, he wrote plays and acted in underground theater, resisting oppression through art.

This courage shaped his future.

🧵 How is a Pope Elected?

The election of a pope is one of the oldest and most fascinating rituals, blending faith, politics, and pageantry in the Vatican.

Let’s dive into the Conclave, step by step. 👇

1. When a pope dies or resigns (like Benedict XVI in 2013), the Church enters Sede Vacante — the vacant seat.

The Camerlengo, a cardinal, manages affairs temporarily.

Preparations for the Conclave begin.

2. Who Elects the Pope?

The College of Cardinals elects the pope, but only those under 80 vote. Around 120 cardinals, representing the global Church, gather in Vatican City for secrecy and focus.

No phones, no outside world.

Today, the world mourns the passing of Pope Francis, who died on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88.

He broke barriers as the first Latin American pope and inspired millions.

🧵 A tribute to his remarkable legacy.

Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio on December 17, 1936, in Buenos Aires, grew up in a modest family.

His father was an Italian immigrant, and his upbringing instilled in him the values of humility and compassion.

These early experiences shaped his later papacy.

Before his priesthood, Jorge Bergoglio worked as a chemical technician and even considered marriage. A profound encounter with faith redirected his life, and he joined the Jesuits in 1958 — a path marked by deep reflection and commitment to serving others.
