Kolosseum

The Kolosseum, a historical amphitheater in Rome, is the location for the Pope's Good Friday procession. This year, Pope Leo XIV led the procession, marking his first time carrying the cross himself, a departure from his predecessor's practice. The event, attended by tens of thousands, is a significant religious observance focused on human suffering, with prayers and reflections on current global conflicts. The Kolosseum's historical significance and its role as a prominent public space contribute to the solemn and evocative atmosphere of the Good Friday procession, making it a focal point for religious pilgrimage and reflection during Holy Week. The event highlights the Kolosseum's continued relevance as a site of cultural and religious importance.
