Pope Francis led Palm Sunday services in an almost empty St. Peter's Basilica because of coronavirus restrictions for the second consecutive year and said the devil is taking advantage of the pandemic, the Reuters website reports today (March 28, 2021).
In pre-coronavirus times, Palm Sunday, which marks the start of Ho;y Week and leads to Easter, tens of thousands of people would pack St. Peter's Square holding olive branches and intricately woven palm fronds in an outdoor ceremony.
Instead, only about 120 members of the faithful participated in Sunday's Mass.
