[GTranslate]VATICAN CITY – In a deserted St. Peter’s Square due to the coronavirus emergency, Pope Francis presides over the Via Crucis: on the sides of the churchyard, 13 cardinals and about 250 faithful.

The texts of the meditations and prayers proposed for the Stations of the Cross on this Good Friday are entrusted to the Agesci “Foligno I” Scout Group and to the Roman parish of Santi Martiri di Uganda, while the images accompanying the various stations are drawings made by children and young people from the “Mater Divini Amoris” Family Home and the “Tetto Casal Fattoria” Family Home.

The fourteen stations that retrace the Passion of Christ are around the obelisk and along the path leading to the churchyard. The torches that trace the path on the ground form a large luminous cross that extends over the empty square. The Cross is carried by a group of children and educators who have been entrusted with the meditations read by the authors themselves. For each meditation a drawing shown in the live stream that you can follow (or watch it again, if finished) in the video below by Vatican News.
