Italian Cardinal Angelo Sodano blesses the pilgrims gathered in St-Peter's square at the Vatican, during the Easter mass, 27 March 2005. For the first time since becoming pope 27 years ago, illness forced an ailing Pope John Paul II to miss Christianity's most important annual celebration, but tens of thousands of pilgrims flocked to the Vatican in the hope he would make a fleeting appearance after Easter Sunday mass.
