The pope, who is then 88 years old, greeted those from his chariot while believers had waited for him after his release from the hospital in five weeks.
The pope appeared weak in health, reports the BBC, as he appeared on Sunday's Passover, saying the words: “Brothers and dear sisters, Happy Easter. ”
“There can be no peace without freedom of religion, freedom of thought, freedom of expression and respect for the views of others,” said member of the clergy, while the pope was sitting next to him.
The jubilee year began on December 24th, when the Pope opened the Holy Door” in St. Peter's Basilica a door that is usually closed by the wall. Catholics believe that passing through it brings forgiveness of sins.
For the first time since his election as Pope in 2013, he has been absent in most of the events of Holy Week, including Saturday's Easter Eve at St. Peter's Basilica, where he delegated his duties to cardinals./Periscopi/
