"I can affirm that, as he is anticipated to leave the hospital tomorrow, Pope Francis is expected to be present in the plaza Saint Peter's Sunday for the Eucharistic celebration of Palm Sunday, Passion of the Christ," said Matteo Bruni, head of the Vatican press office. The Holy Father, who has been hospitalized at the Gemelli hospital in Rome since Wednesday, March 29, should be present during the Easter services.

Bergoglio was hospitalized with "infectious bronchitis," which was treated with antibiotics. Bruni broke the news and reintroduced it through Vatican News, explaining how situations had "much improved" in the previous few hours. According to the press secretary, Putin spent the afternoon "resting, praying, and doing some work chores." Before lunch, "he also went to the little chapel of the private apartment, where he gathered in prayer and received the Eucharist," according to the letter. The hospitalization occurred as a result of routine check-ups.
