The inaugural post, which was translated into nine languages, features a photo of the Pope reverently kneeling in prayer.
The post was made after noon under the handle @Franciscus - which is Latin for Francis. Within 30 minutes of going live, the account had more than ten thousand followers.
The papal Instagram will feature photos from L’Osservatore Romano, as well as short videos, according to the Vatican’s March 18 statement.
“In this way we can show those aspects of closeness and inclusion that Pope Francis lives every day,” Msgr. Vigano said.
