Due to the Pope\u2019s recent health struggles stemming from a challenging fight against double pneumonia, a high-ranking cardinal delivered the Mass.<\/p>\n<div id=\"quads-ad41459\" class=\"quads-location quads-ad41459 \" data-lazydelay=\"3000\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1742614163054-0\" data-google-query-id=\"CIHzrdjE7IwDFfCP_Qcd00UicQ\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/22982497132\/un-aret-cp61_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Cardinal Angelo Comastri led the service before a crowd of tens of thousands of Catholic faithful. Pope Francis emerged onto the balcony of St. Peter\u2019s Basilica. He took the opportunity to wish everyone present a \u201cHappy Easter\u201d and to extend his blessings to the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, on such occasions, the Pope delivers a traditional \u201cUrbi et Orbi\u201d (\u201cTo the City and the World\u201d). This year, however, the message was delivered by a Vatican archbishop, as the Pope was in a wheelchair.<\/p>\n<div id=\"quads-ad41460\" class=\"quads-location quads-ad41460 \" data-lazydelay=\"3000\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1742614249047-0\" data-google-query-id=\"CMGW1djE7IwDFeSE_QcdgkkZow\">\n<p>The Pope\u2019s address covered numerous significant topics, leaving a deep and lasting message.

Following the conclusion of the address, the pope was escorted through the crowd in an open-top vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>The pope has died at the age of 88. He had spent a considerable amount of time in and out of the hospital. He departed from Rome\u2019s Gemelli Hospital four weeks ago after spending a month there.<\/p>\n<p>Following his departure, medical professionals continued to recommend that he take time to recuperate from the serious illness he had fought against.<\/p>\n<div id=\"quads-ad41461\" class=\"quads-location quads-ad41461 \" data-lazydelay=\"3000\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1742614310784-0\" data-google-query-id=\"CKiQrtjE7IwDFSy3_QcdKCk3eg\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/22982497132\/Un-articles-p15_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>For the first time since his election as pope in 2013, he missed the majority of Holy Week events due to his declining health.
