VATICAN CITY, VATICAN - FEBRUARY 25: Rows of chairs are put in place
in St Peter's Square ahead of Pope Benedict XVI's last public audience
on February 25, 2013 in Vatican City, Vatican. The Pontiff will hold his
last weekly public audience on February 27, 2013 before he retires the
following day. Pope Benedict XVI has been the leader of the Catholic
Church for eight years and is the first Pope to retire since 1415. He
cites ailing health as his reason for retirement and will spend the rest
of his life in solitude away from public engagements (Photo by Peter
