On March 12, 2013, black smoke billowed out of the chimney atop the Sistine Chapel, indicating that the Cardinals did not reach the two-thirds majority of votes required to elect a new Pope.
According to Yahoo News, The 115 cardinals filed past Swiss Guards into the chapel earlier on Tuesday chanting the Latin hymn "Veni Creator Spiritus" ("Come Creator Spirit") to ask for divine guidance after Benedict's troubled eight-year papacy.
