Pope Francis announces Easter message and gives “Urbi et Orbi” blessing. Believers from Germany can also follow the Easter Mass and the Pope's words online.

Pope Francis surprisingly canceled his participation in the Stations of the Cross on Good Friday. The 87-year-old was present again at the Easter Vigil celebration on Holy Saturday. Around 6,000 people attended the celebration to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. The Dicastery for Communication of the Holy See provides a live stream on YouTube.
