AGI/Vista - In occasione del Venerdì Santo, papa Leone XIV ha presieduto nella Basilica di San Pietro la liturgia della Passione del Signore. Il Pontefice ha guidato la Via Crucis, al Colosseo, uno dei riti più suggestivi e partecipati della Settimana Santa romana con una novità molto simbolica: è stato il Papa stesso a portare la croce in tutte le quattordici stazioni.

Via Crucis, 30,000 faithful at the Colosseum

On Good Friday, Pope Leo XIV presided over the Passion liturgy of the Lord in St. Peter's Basilica. The Pontiff led the Way of the Cross, at the Colosseum, one of the most evocative and popular rites of the Roman Holy Week, with a very symbolic innovation: it was the Pope himself who carried the cross at all fourteen stations.

I normally don't remessage the Sun, but this even surprised me!

A shocking incident at St. Peter’s Basilica left tourists and worshippers stunned when an unidentified man brazenly urinated on the Altar of Confession—one of Catholicism’s holiest sites—during the 9am Holy Mass. Hundreds looked on as he climbed the altar steps, dropped his trousers, and desecrated the spot before security intervened and dragged him away, the shocking moment caught on video and quickly spreading online. The act, condemned as “deeply disrespectful,” has sparked questions about Vatican security, though it’s unclear whether Pope Leo XIV was present. https://www.the-sun.com/news/15333349/ #Vatican #StPetersBasilica #Breaking #Desecration #HolyMass
