TL;DR

Pope Francis led Easter Mass in St Peter's Square, Vatican City, after recovering from a bout of bronchitis that led to a hospital stay. Despite concerns about his health, he appeared untroubled during the 75-minute long Mass and greeted cardinals in his wheelchair afterwards. He also delivered his "Urbi and Orbi" blessing, praying for peace in Jerusalem and Ukraine. The Pope successfully fulfilled his commitments for Holy Week, despite missing the Via Crucis ceremony on Good Friday.
