Pope Francis, still recovering from double pneumonia, did not attend an annual procession on Friday at Rome's Colosseum with thousands of Catholic faithful for the third year in a row, APA reports citing Reuters.
The 88-year-old pontiff, who is limiting his public appearances on doctors' orders, skipped an outdoor ceremony for Good Friday, the day Christians mark Jesus' crucifixion.
The Via Crucis at the Colosseum, which is believed to have been a place of martyrdom for early Christians, is a re-enactment of Jesus' death.
