The news of Pope Francis’s passing awakened people up this morning all throughout the world.
The Vatican revealed the tragic news of the Pope’s untimely death on Easter Monday.
Hundreds of thousands of people flocked to Rome to visit the Vatican in honor of Easter.
And when the Pope made his final public appearance on Sunday, many of those people were present.
Pope Francis paid a brief visit to St. Peter’s Square on Easter Sunday to commemorate the momentous occasion.
A high-ranking cardinal celebrated the Mass becau se the Pope
had not been feeling well lately after a long fight with double pneumonia.j
Tens of thousands of Catholics attended the ceremony, which was presided over
by Cardinal Angelo Comastri. On the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica, Pope Francis
made an appearance. He took the opportunity to bless the gathering and wish everyone in attendance a
“Happy Easter.” Usually on the occasion, the Pope always delivers a traditional “Urbi et Orbi”
(“To the City and the World”), which this year was delivered by a Vatican archbishop as the
Pope himself was in a wheelchair. The Pope’s speech covered a wide range of significant
subjects and created a lasting impression. In addition to denouncing the terrible
circumstances in Gaza and restating his demand for a ceasefire, he explained how
there was a “growing climate of antisemitism around the world.”
