Video Pope delights crowds in Good Friday procession
Pope John Paul II’s own suffering kept him away from his flock on Good Friday, but he appeared via video at the Way of the Cross commemoration of Christ’s suffering at Rome’s torchlit Colosseum.
The faithful who had gathered at the Colosseum cheered and waved torches as the Pope appeared on large screens at the start of the evening procession – the first time he has been physically absent in his 26-year pontificate. He did not speak.
