Pope Leo XIV continued his quest for peace on Easter Sunday, urging for an end to the multiple military conflicts throughout the world. In his first Easter as pope, Leo delivered the traditional Easter “Urbi et Orbi” blessing from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica before 50,000 people gathered in St. Peter’s Square. Leo called for “those who have weapons lay them down!”
He began by speaking about the spirituality of Easter, mentioning the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, and its relevance today, before discussing current geopolitical events.
