Vatican: It has been reported that Pope Francis did not participate in the Good Friday program due to extreme cold in the Vatican.
As the ‘Holy Friday’ of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ is being observed around the world, millions of people, led by the Pope, usually participate in the Vatican, the headquarters of the Catholic Church. Last month, Pope Francis, 86, was treated in hospital for respiratory problems and recovered.
In this case, since the extreme cold weather in the Vatican is not suitable for the Pope, he did not participate in the Good Friday event, according to the Vatican spokesperson Meta Bruni. However, regular prayer programs were held.
