The Vatican has said that Pope Francis, who recently had a stint in hospital with a pulmonary infection, missed the Good Friday procession due to ‘extremely cold weather in Rome’
‘Due to the intense cold of these days, Pope Francis will follow the Way of the Cross this evening from Santa Marta hotel, uniting in prayer with those who will gather with the Diocese of Rome at the Colosseum,’ the Vatican said in a brief statement.
On Thursday the Pope presided over mass and washed and dried the feet of dozens of people at the Casal del Marmo juvenile facility, near Rome.
