Scoop Images: Venerdi Santa - San Pietro
Venerdi Santa (Holy Friday a.k.a. Good Friday) was marked at San. Pietro Bassilica Rome with a two hour long service attended by thousands of pilgrims and Romans. Il Santa Padre (The Holy Father Pope John Paul II) was present - and can be seen as a white speck in the bottom right of the panoramic picture below - but due to his failing health was unable to play his usual role in the service marking the anniversary of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
