Pope Francis leads the Easter Mass

Pope Francis led the Easter Mass as tens of thousands of Catholics gathered in St Peter's Square in the Vatican.

There are concerns about the health of the Holy Father. The pope, 87, arrived at the mass in a wheelchair as the mass was broadcast live around the world.

During his speech at noon, the Pope is expected to talk about the ongoing conflicts around the world.

Easter Sunday marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ and culminates in Holy Week, an important part of the Catholic calendar followed by 1.3 billion people.

During a Vatican Mass on Friday, in a 10-minute sermon in Italian, the Pope condemned the "walls of selfishness and indifference" in the world. But the Vatican said that due to his health, the Holy Father would not attend a religious event on Friday night.

Until Friday, the pope had attended various events during the week, but recently he has appeared tired and at times has delegated speeches to his colleagues.

In the past, Francis has left open the possibility of stepping down from leading the Church if he is unable to fulfill his duties. If he were to leave the leadership of the Catholic Church, he would follow the example of his predecessor Benedict XVI, who in 2013 became the first pope since the Middle Ages to voluntarily resign./ Rel
