VATICAN CITY (AP) - Pope Benedict XVI is celebrating Easter Sunday Mass in a packed St. Peter’s Square.
Wearing golden vestments, Benedict processed into the square, blessing the crowd as a choir sang hymns.
Benedict is presiding over the joyous Mass that commemorates Jesus Christ’s resurrection.
On Saturday night, Benedict baptized five converts during the three-hour-long Easter vigil. Benedict sounded hoarse at the end of the service, but has otherwise held up well in the busy Holy Week ceremonies.
