Pope Francis stumbled at the altar and had to be helped to his feet as he celebrated a Mass at the Jasna Gora Monastery in the southern city of Czestochowa.
Pictures show him tumbling to the floor next to steps leading to the altar and being helped to his feet by Vatican Master of Ceremonies, Guido Marini.
Francis suffers from sciatica, a medical condition in which pain sometimes shoots down the leg from the lower back. He was uninjured and finished the event, which was aired to a television audience of millions.
