Holy Week in Rome 2023: Celebrating Resurrection with Pope Francis

Join us as we look back on the events that unfolded during Holy Week in Rome, and witness the message of hope and blessing that Pope Francis delivered to the faithful from all over the world who gathered in the Eternal City to commemorate this holy occasion. From Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, we’ll take you on a journey of faith and reflection, highlighting the Pope’s inspiring words of thanks to all priests, and his call to roll away the stone of the tombs where we often imprison our hope. Don’t miss the traditional “Urbi et orbi” blessing for the city and the world, and the Pope’s joyful Easter message of consolation and promise.
