Pope Francis greets the crowd.
Vatican City:
Pope Francis on Sunday made his first public appearance since being discharged from hospital two weeks ago after treatment for double pneumonia, entering St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican in a wheelchair to greet crowds.
Francis, 88, had been out of public view since March 23, when he gave a short greeting before leaving Rome’s Gemelli hospital after more than five weeks of treatment in the most serious health crisis of his 12-year papacy.
