💨 Abstract

During Pope Francis' funeral in Rome, there was a surge in the demand for papal souvenirs, such as books, prayer cards, snow globes, bobblehead dolls, and even nail clippers and keychains with his image. Rosaries, which were prayed by the faithful during his hospitalization, were especially popular. The combination of religious pilgrimage and tourism, fueled by social media, is a growing concern in Europe.
