Pope Appears in Public. Blesses 50,000 at Vatican
Pope Pius XII appeared at his Vatican window for the first time since illness two months earlier. A crowd of Italian Alpine veterans and others cheered as the 78-year-old pontiff raised his arms and blessed about 50,000 people, then knelt in response to the crowd. The scene ended with the bells of St. Peter’s ringing for 15 minutes. The Vatican hasn’t released the illness details beyond a severe gastric disturbance and a test-related need for X rays.
