Pope Francis has made his first public appearance since leaving the hospital. Pope Francis greeted citizens at the Vatican and appeared to be in good spirits, CNN reports.
He was sitting in a wheelchair and had a tube inserted to help him breathe. Pope Francis was brought to the altar, where after greeting with his hands he left. His appearance lasted only a few minutes, writes A2 CNN.
The 88-year-old pope spent five weeks in hospital with pneumonia, where he was admitted on February 14 and released from the Gemelli Polyclinic on March 23.
Throughout his hospital stay, he never appeared at the tenth-floor window of the Roman hospital, and for five weeks, the Vatican distributed the text he had prepared or approved for the Angelus. According to his medical team, the Pope came close to death during his illness. (A2 Televizion)
