Pope Francis on Wednesday marked the feast day of Saint John XXIII - one of the most popular pontiffs of all time - by paying tribute to his illustrious predecessor in a tweet.

"Like Saint John XXIII, whom we remember today, let us witness to God’s goodness and mercy before the Church and the world," read the tweet from the nine-language @pontifex acccount on Twitter.

Saint John XXIII, born Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli on 25 November, 1881, reigned from 1958-1963. His openness to change marked new era in the history of the Catholic Church that led to the modernising reforms of the Second Vatican Council (1962–65).

The late pontiff was beatified on 3 September, 2000 and canonized on 27 April, 2014.
