Pope Francis Breaks Tradition on Good Friday

Pope Francis skipped the traditional Good Friday procession at the Colosseum due to chilly weather in Rome, staying instead at his home at the Vatican while thousands of faithful turned out for the torchlit event. This was the first time a pontiff was a no-show at the Colosseum Way of the Cross procession since 2005. Earlier on Friday, Francis presided at a two-hour long early evening prayer service in St. Peter's Basilica. On Saturday night, he is scheduled to preside at an Easter Vigil Mass in the basilica, and on Sunday, he is due to be in St. Peter's Square for a mid-morning Mass.

Pope Francis Skips Good Friday Services Due to Health Concerns and Cold Weather

Pope Francis skipped an outdoor "Way of the Cross" procession at Rome's Colosseum on Good Friday after being hospitalized last week for bronchitis. Doctors ordered him to follow the service from his residence in the Vatican as a precaution due to the cold weather. This year's meditations collected comments that migrants, refugees, and victims of war or human trafficking made to the pope at various events during his travels or at the Vatican over the past year. Francis spent four days in the hospital for treatment of bronchitis, recovered quickly with antibiotic therapy, and resumed public activities last Sunday.
