Pope Francis presides over Good Friday liturgy in St. Peter's Basilica

Pope Francis presided over the Celebration of the Lord’s Passion on Good Friday evening in St. Peter’s Basilica. In observance of the Covid-19 health protocols, the liturgy was attended by a limited number of faithful.

As is tradition at this liturgy, the preacher of the papal household gave the homily. Cardinal Raniero Cantalamessa spoke about how “fraternity among Catholics is wounded.”
