Barley Risotto and Kimchi: A Culinary Crossroads| SaltWire #food #cookingshorts #kimchiVATICAN CITY - Pope Francis presided over a Good Friday service in St Peter's Basilica ahead of a night-time procession at Rome's Colosseum for the most sombre day in the Christian calendar, marking Jesus' death by crucifixion.
The 87-year-old pontiff, who is hobbled by mobility and respiratory issues but looked fitter this week, arrived in St Peter's with a wheelchair as he joined cardinals and bishops for Good Friday's Passion of the Lord service. The Passion of the Lord features chants in Latin that recount events from Jesus' arrest to his burial, and is one of the few services where the pope does not deliver a homily, leaving it to the preacher of the papal household.
Francis personally wrote this year's meditations, a first in his 11-year papacy. They included praises for meekness and forgiveness in response to acts of evil, and prayers for persecuted Christians and war victims.
