Pope attended Mass for the first time after failing health

According to Christian belief, the Vatican celebrates the Festival of the “Market of the Palms”, which is known as the memory of the last entry of Jesus into Jerusalem before his “crucifixion” and of the people of Jerusalem taking to the streets and waving palm leaves. Saint Peter’s Square, attended by approximately 60 thousand believers, celebrated with great ceremony.

The service was also attended by Pope Francis, who was treated in the hospital for three weekdays for a respiratory infection and was discharged yesterday.

The Pope, who normally administers the rite, this time opened and closed the rite, while Cardinal Leandro Sandri led the rite.

The Pope, who opened the ceremony and sounded tired in his speech, thanked the interest shown these days and said that he himself was the Prophet. He said that he needed the love of Jesus.

Pope Francis also reiterated his call for peace for Ukraine. The spiritual leader of the Catholics greeted the faithful gathered in the square in his “Popemobile” vehicle after the service. (AA)
