Brazilians paid several tributes to soccer legend Pelé on Friday, one year after the three-time World Cup winner`s death at age 82 due to colon cancer.

A ceremony held at Rio de Janeiro`s Christ the redeemer, one of the South American nation`s most famous postcard locations, featured a projection of a Brazil shirt with Pelé`s name and number 10 on the statue and a message from Pope Francis. Pelé was a devout Catholic throughout his life.
