A t-shirt of Pope John Paul II is displayed in Rome April 28, 2011. Rome is festooned with posters of the former pope on buses and lamp posts as the city where he was bishop for 27 years awaits one of the largest crowds since his funeral in 2005, when millions came to pay tribute. The Vatican is preparing to elevate the late Pope John Paul II one step closer to sainthood on Sunday. Under normal Church rules, five years must pass after a person dies before the procedure for sainthood can even begin. REUTERS/Alessandro Bianchi (ITALY - Tags: RELIGION)
