Pope leads Easter mass in St Peter's Square

Pope Francis was celebrating Easter Sunday, along with dozensof prelates and tens of thousands of pilgrims and tourists in St. Peter's Square. At the start of the Mass, Francis sprinkled holy water and sounded tired as he recited ritual words in Latin.He was back in the public's eye 12 hours after a very long Easter vigil ceremony in St.

Peter's Basilica the night before.Since he's recovering from bronchitis, the 86-year-old pope skipped the traditional Good Friday procession at Rome's Colosseum due to unseasonably cold nighttime temperatures.
