Pope Francis, who is recovering from bilateral pneumonia, will deliver his traditional "To the City and the World" (Urbi et Orbi) address to the faithful in St. Peter's Square on Easter, April 20, the Vatican announced today.
It was not said whether the 88-year-old pope will also attend other ceremonies, which is unlikely given the very busy schedule during Holy Week before Easter.
The Holy See announced that the pope's attendance at some of these ceremonies will depend on his health.
After five weeks at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome, the pope looked and spoke weakly when he returned to the Vatican on Sunday, where he continues his recovery, which will last at least two months with movement and breathing exercises and no public activities.
Francis's treatment in the hospital, when doctors said his life was twice in danger, was his most serious illness since 2013, when he was elected pope.
