Her wisdom and nobility spread far and wide and was adopted by many.

“I came here because this year is the 100th anniversary of Mother Teresa, so, I would like to give her tribute because of all the good things that she did in this world (which) is nowadays full of violence and poor people.”

Mother Teresa was beautified by the pope in October 2003, paving the way for her canonization as a saint.

She came to India in 1929 at the age of 18 and took up teaching and became an Indian citizen in 1948.

The nun started working in slums and later set up her Missionaries of Charity, which was approved by the Vatican in 1950.

The organization now runs more than 500 charity homes in over 100 countries.

Mother Teresa received several national and international awards for social service during her lifetime.
