Faithful pray for ailing Pope at St Peter's Square
Catholics gather at St. Peter's Square in the Vatican on Feb. 28, 2025, some holding rosaries, candles and religious pictures, as they pray for Pope Francis, who had an 'isolated breathing crisis' in the hospital. Francis, 88, has been in Rome's Gemelli hospital for two weeks, after being admitted on Feb. 14 with a severe respiratory infection that triggered other complications. The news followed three days of more positive updates, with the Vatican saying previously that the pope had been showing a 'slight improvement' as he fights what has been termed a 'complex' infection caused by two or more micro-organisms.
