Pope Leo XIV delivered his first Easter Mass at the Vatican. Thousands gathered at St Peter’s Square to hear him. He urged global leaders to “choose peace” and avoid war. He said people are becoming used to violence and suffering. The pope asked those with power to stop conflicts. He did not name any country but spoke about global tensions. He also criticised ongoing wars in recent speeches. Pope Leo paid tribute to Pope Francis during his address. He ended with blessings in many languages. He will hold a prayer vigil for peace soon. Easter marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ. (PC: Vatican Media/Reuters)
