The Pope celebrates the Mass of the Passion of Christ in the Vatican

The Pontiff will not be present at the Via Crucis tonight

Pope Francis celebrated the Mass of the Passion of Christ this Friday (7) in St. Peter’s Basilica, in the Vatican, in another of the events of the Catholic Holy Week.

As happened last year, the pontiff did not lie down on the ground to participate in the ceremony due to knee problems, which make it difficult for him to move. To mark the celebration, he arrived again in a wheelchair.

Another ritual that was not followed was entering the basilica with shoes. Faced with physical and health problems, the Catholic leader always went barefoot as a sign of humility. Unlike this afternoon’s mass, Pope Francis will not go to the Colosseum to celebrate the Via Crucis due to the severe cold snap that hits Rome. The pontiff left the hospital less than a week ago and the medical advice is to protect yourself so as not to fall ill again. .
