Description: Pope John XXIII Medal Goldtone Aluminum Rosary Shrine St Jude Detroit Michigan. 1" dia Pope Saint John XXIII born Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, ( 25 November 1881 – 3 June 1963) was pope from 1958 to his death in 1963. Roncalli was elected pope at age 76 after 11 ballots. His selection was unexpected, and Roncalli himself had come to Rome with a return train ticket to Venice. He was the first pope to take the pontifical name of "John" upon election in more than 500 years. Pope John XXIII surprised those who expected him to be a caretaker pope by calling the historic Second Vatican Council (1962–1965), the first session opening on 11 October 1962. He did not live to see the Vatican Council to completion. He died of stomach cancer four and a half years after his election. John XXIII today is affectionately known as the "Good Pope" and in Italian, "il Papa buono". The Catholic Church celebrates his feast day not on the date of his death, as is usual, nor his birth, or even on the day of his papal coronation, but on 11 October – the day of the first session of the Second Vatican Council. #B70
