Easter Sunday 2018

On Christianity’s most joyful day, Pope Francis called for peace in a world marked by war and conflict. Francis reflected on the power of Christianity’s core belief — that Jesus rose from the dead following crucifixion — in his formal “Urbi et Orbi” Easter message delivered from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica to a packed square of some 80,000 faithful below. .
