Pope Francis' Instagram account has more than three million followers, Vatican Radio said Monday.
The account 'Franciscus' opened on the photo and video-sharing network March 19 with a photograph depicting the pope kneeling in prayer, accompanied by the words "Pray for me".
"I am beginning a new journey, on Instagram, to walk with you along the path of mercy and the tenderness of God," he wrote in a message to his Twitter account at the time. The idea is to recount Francis' pontificate through images.
