Pope Francis made an unexpected public appearance on Sunday, meeting with crowds at the Vatican just two weeks after his hospital stay. The pontiff has been recovering from a serious case of pneumonia after being hospitalized on February 14 due to acute respiratory insufficiency. During his appearance at Saint Peter’s Square after a mass dedicated to the sick, the 88-year-old Pope greeted the crowd from his wheelchair, showing signs of improvement since leaving the hospital. Despite his fragile voice and reliance on nasal breathing tubes, he expressed gratitude to those present. Edited by Jenipher Camino Gonzalez.
