Silent and suffering, Pope offers Easter blessing

The Holy Father gave his blessing to the faithful in St. Peter's Square, and remained at the window of his apartment for about 12 minutes.

For the first time in his 26-year pontificate, he was unable to deliver his Easter message orally; in previous years he had given the short message in as many as 60 difference languages.
