At 21.00 this evening, the Holy Father Francis presided at the pious exercise of the Via Crucis on the parvis of Saint Peter’s Basilica, transmitted live worldwide.

The texts of the meditation and the prayers proposed this year for the Stations of the Good Friday Via Crucis were entrusted to the “Foligno I” (Umbria) Agesci Scout Group, and to the Roman parish of Santi Martiri di Uganda. The images that accompanied the various Stations were drawings produced by children and young people from the “Mater Divini Amoris” and “Tetto Casal Fattoria” foster homes.
