We are pleased to present these few images of Pope Francis celebrating the Solemn Liturgy of of the Lord's Suffering and Death in Saint Peter's Basilica on Sunday. Noteworthy from these photographs is the minimal use of artificial lighting in the Basilica, enhancing the sobriety of the Commemoration.
