"Pope Francis Leads Easter Services Despite Health Concerns"

Pope Francis presided over a more than 2-hour Easter Vigil Mass in St Peter's Basilica, displaying signs of frailty but reading all his prepared texts and smiling at the congregation before leaving in a wheelchair. Concerns about his health have been renewed after he skipped the Via Crucis procession at the Colosseum, following weeks of limited public speaking and cancelled engagements due to colds, bronchitis, and the flu. Despite his ailments, he urged Christians to maintain faith in the face of adversity during the solemn ceremony, and is set to conclude Easter celebrations with Mass in St. Peter's Square and his "Urbi et Orbi" blessing on Sunday.
