The Stations of the Cross ceremony took place in the Vatican

Pope Francis took over an abbreviated Stations of the Cross service, which took place in the deserted St. Peter’s Square due to quarantine restrictions.

In the Vatican, on Friday, April 2, in the quarantined St. Peter’s Square, the pre-Passover ceremony of the Via Crucis – Via Crucis was held. Reported by Reuters.

The ceremony took place on the night of Good Friday, which Catholics celebrate on April 2 of this year. The mass was celebrated in the Vatican Basilica, presided over by Cardinal Raniero Cantalamessa.

Pope Francis took over the short service Via Crucis, which was held in the deserted St. Peter’s Square due to coronavirus-related restrictions. He also interacted with children who talked about their fears and dreams.

The ceremony was attended by only 200 people who were on either side of the Pope right in front of St. Peter’s Basilica.

It was previously reported that Pope Francis decided to cut the cardinals’ salaries by 10%. Also, most of the other clergy who work in the Vatican will receive less money each month.
