Pope Francis 'Defies Doctors' to Bless Crowds at Vatican | First Appearance Since near-death Battle

In a powerful and emotional moment, 88-year-old Pope Francis made his first public appearance since battling a life-threatening case of pneumonia.

Just two weeks after being discharged from Gemelli Hospital, the pontiff surprised thousands as he was wheeled through Saint Peter’s Square following a special mass dedicated to the sick.

Despite doctors advising strict rest, Pope Francis chose to connect with the faithful, delivering a fragile yet moving message just ahead of Easter.

Witness the resilience, faith, and spirit of a leader who refuses to stay silent in the face of adversity.
