The public returned to St. Peter's Square today (May 24, 2020) to receive Pope Francis's blessing from his window for the first time in nearly three months, as he convoked a year of reflection on the environment, according to the Yahoo News website.
Only a few dozen people went to the square, which was reopened on May 18 along with St. Peter's Basilica following coronavirus lockdowns. They kept to social distancing rules and most wore masks.
Francis delivered his message via the internet from his library, as those in the square watched on large screens, and then went to the window for the silent blessing.
In the past three months, he has blessed an empty square.
