The Vatican announced the death of Pope Francis in the morning of Easter Monday, April 21, 2025.
His Eminence, Cardinal Farrell expressed the deepest sorrow in announcing the death of Pope Francis.
Pope Francis had been unwell and experienced a string of health worries in recent years and spent 38 days in hospital in February and March 2025.
But he recovered enough to leave hospital and just yesterday (Easter Sunday) was greeting crowds in St Peter’s Square.
Many world leaders took to social media platforms, including Facebook and X, to express their condolences and pay tribute to a man widely seen as a spiritual reformer and a beacon of humility, compassion, and peace.
