Religious articles such as rosaries, icons, etc., are sold all over on St. Peter’s Square. At the end of the Mass, as Head of the Catholic Church, the Pope will impart his Apostolic Blessing upon the crowd which also extends to loved ones that are sick and suffering and blesses any religious articles such as rosary beads that people have brought with them for the purpose of the blessing. On this day the entire Roman Catholic faith focuses on the Easter Sunday Mass on St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican City in Rome, Italy.
