Pope Francis to lead first Easter celebrations


VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis prepared to lead his first Easter Sunday celebrations with tens of thousands of people expected in St Peter's Square for a mass marking the holiest day in the Christian calendar.

The ceremony will be followed by a special "Urbi et Orbi" blessing for Rome and the world that the pope will deliver from the same balcony where he made his first public appearance after his election this month.
