Pope Francis addressed a crowd of around 150,000 believers on the day of Easter, in St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican.

In his Easter message, the Pope prayed for peace in every troubled corner of the world and said “Christ is Risen” only in Italian, and not in dozens of languages, as it is accustomed.

“We ask you Lord Jesus, to put an end to all war and every conflict, whether great or small, ancient or recent”, he said in his “Urbi et Orbi” message

He prayed to God to “help us to overcome the scourge of hunger, aggravated by conflicts and by the immense wastefulness for which we are often responsible”
