“Brothers and sisters, Happy Easter!” Pope Francis said that his voice was a noticeably stronger-enabled sign after his recent almost fatal battle with double pneumonia, and said.
Shouts “Viva Il Papa!” and “Bravo!” He came across the square when Pope Francis made several loops in his open vehicle. He stopped on the way to bless children brought by their parents – a tradition that seemed unimaginable a few weeks ago during their serious illness.

Thousands of people below broke out when the military group started the bikes of the Holy See and Italian anthem, AP reported.
