Mother Teresa’s statue was unveiled at Seashore St. Anthony’s Shrine in Chennaihours ahead of the canonization.
Mother Teresa will be declared a saint by Pope Francis in a canonisation ceremony at St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City today.
Thousands of Mother Teresa’s followers are expected to gather to witness the ceremony.
Pope Francis had in March announced that Mother Teresa, who spent 45 years serving the poor and sick on the streets in Kolkata, will be elevated to sainthood.
