The Pope expected this Saturday evening for Easter celebrations despite concerns about his health. The 87-year-old pontiff will preside over the Easter vigil at St.
Peter's Basilica at 7:30 p.m., in the presence of thousands of pilgrims from around the world. His presence on Saturday was confirmed by the Vatican at midday, despite the cancellation on Friday evening, at the last minute, of his visit to the Stations of the Cross at the Colosseum "to preserve his health"
