Circus acrobats performed for Pope Francis's at weekly general audience on Wednesday at Vatican.

The pontiff appeared to delight as performers from the Golden Circus took turns showing off their tricks.

Circus performers often visit the Vatican and perform for popes. Francis has praised circus performers in the past saying that they create beauty "and this is good for the soul".
