Several Latino stars took part in the celebration of Pope Francis' first visit to the United States by sharing photos on their Instagram accounts.
On Sept. 23, actress Eva Longoria shared her opportunity to see Pope Francis at the White House with her sister, Elizabeth.
"A yr ago I asked my sister Liza 'who do you most want to meet in the world?' She said 'the Pope.' And here we are! #PopeFrancis #Blessed #DC," the star captioned an image of her and her sister waiting for the pope's arrival on the front lawn of the White House.
The Mexican-American star shared several other images on her Instagram account, including an image of the program for the event.
Lili Estefan also made her way to D.C. to be a part of Pope Francis' historic visit. The television host brought family members along, including her children, Lorenzo Jr. and Lina Teresa.
She posted several images in front of the monuments in the nation's capital and shared a video of the pope with President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama on the White House balcony.
Mario Lopez, who was also in D.C., covering the papal visit, shared his admiration for the pope's speech to Congress that included support for immigrants.
Lopez, a entertainment correspondent for Extra, shared an image of Pope Francis that included a quote reading, "As the son of an immigrant family, I'm happy to be a guest in this country, which was largely built by such families."
