Francis led the event in St Peter’s Basilica.
Pope Francis has presided over the Saturday-night Easter Vigil service at the Vatican a day after making the last-minute decision to skip his participation in the Good Friday procession at the Colosseum as a health precaution.
Sounding somewhat congested and out of breath, he blessed an elaborately decorated Easter candle, the flame of which was then shared with other candles until the whole basilica twinkled.The evening service, one of the most solemn and important moments in the Catholic liturgical calendar, commemorates the resurrection of Jesus and includes the sacrament of baptism for eight adult converts.
