Philadelphia International Airport Rolls Out Red Carpet for Pope Francis' Arrival

The Philadelphia International Airport is rolling out the red carpet for Pope Francis' arrival Saturday morning... literally.

The airport's Twitter account posted a sneak peek of the pope's arrival Friday afternoon, saying "Now, we just need a plane and #PopeFrancis! This is such an exciting time for Philadelphia! #PopeInPhilly."

The red carpet is provided locally by Langhorne Carpet Company in Bucks County Pennsylvania. It is 9 feet wide and 75 feet long, and has a gold border.
