Tens of thousands of Catholics will gather in Saint Peter's Square on Sunday to hear Pope Francis give the Easter mass and the traditional blessing.
On Saturday evening, he presided over the Vigil mass in Saint Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, a two-and-a-half-hour ceremony performed before 8,000 people. On Sunday, the pope will preside over the mass from 10:00 am , pronouncing the "Urbi et Orbi" blessing at midday. Traditionally, the pope uses the occasion to review world events.
Francis was discharged from a Rome hospital on April 1 after a three-night stay for a bronchial infection. The pontiff has suffered increasing health issues in recent years, and it was his second stay in hospital since 2021.
