The Pope will be present this Saturday evening at the Easter Vigil, confirms the Vatican. Weakened since a major abdominal operation in 2023, Pope Francis canceled at the last minute his participation Friday evening in the Stations of the Cross.

“This is a simple precautionary measure,” a Vatican source clarified to AFP, assuring that the health of the pope, who appeared “in good shape” in recent hours, gave rise to “no concern” particular.
