Pope Francis took a slight detour to the fast-food restaurant on Thursday to change his clothing before saying Mass in Santa Cruz at Christ the Redeemer square.
The store was closed to customers for the Mass, so the Pontiff believed it was an appropriate place to change his vestments, according to the Associated Press.
The staff at the restaurant were apparently more than happy to assist the Pope.
"They even covered the windows with white curtains, to give his holiness privacy as he donned his robe and miter," according to the New York Post.
Yup. This is where the Pope changed his clothes for Mass on a trip to Latin America. http://t.co/tZWwNCktVB pic.twitter.com/Z659j4I3GV
