During Good Friday, Pope Leo XIV became the first pope in more than six decades to personally carry the cross at all fourteen stations of the evening Way of the Cross procession at Rome's Colosseum. This marks a return to the tradition that Pope Paul VI revived at the Colosseum and which subsequent popes no longer observed in quite the same form. The pope's predecessor Francis, who died on Easter Monday last year, did not carry the cross during the Way of the Cross. hnonline.sk ↗ svet.sme.sk ↗
The evening Way of the Cross procession at the Colosseum was attended on Friday by tens of thousands of faithful who honored the suffering and death of Jesus Christ. During the ceremony, the pope had time for conversations with various figures, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Israeli President Isaac Herzog. The evening Way of the Cross procession at the Colosseum is one of the pope's most significant meditations during Holy Week, and its broadcast was aired in Slovak media. teraz.sk ↗ ta3.com ↗
Similarly to Rome, the faithful in several locations, including Nitra, held the traditional Way of the Cross devotion through the streets of their towns. The return of this tradition represents an important symbolic moment in the structure of the Easter rites at the Vatican and underscores the pope's physical participation in the liturgical life of the Church. teraz.sk ↗ bystricoviny.sk ↗
