Pope Francis, 88, appeared at St Peter’s Square on Easter Sunday to wish thousands of worshippers a “Happy Easter” following a serious illness. Emerging in a wheelchair, he waved from the Vatican balcony, marking his first major public appearance since being hospitalized with double pneumonia. Though his Easter address was delivered by a clergy member, the Pope greeted the crowd with warmth. Doctors revealed his life was at risk during his illness, but he remains alert and recovering. This Easter falls during a special Jubilee year, drawing tens of thousands of pilgrims to Rome for sacred celebrations. (PC: Reuters)
