The Vatican says Pope Francis, who was recently hospitalized for bronchitis, won't preside over Good Friday's late-night Way of the Cross event due to extremely cold weather in Rome.
It said that instead of presiding over the torch-lit procession at the Colosseum, Francis will watch from the hotel where he lives in the Vatican.
He will still attend the earlier Passion of the Lord celebration at St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican added. There, the cross will be unveiled before it goes to the Colosseum for the procession. Francis, 86, was discharged from a Rome hospital on Saturday following treatment for bronchitis. At the time, the Vatican said he would carry out the complete Holy Week schedule, including the Way of the Cross procession and Easter Sunday Mass in St. Peter's Square.
On Thursday, he presided over Mass in St. Peter's Basilica and later washed and dried the feet of a dozen residents of a Rome juvenile prison in a ritual symbolizing humility.
