Pilgrims mark Jubilee year in Rome with prayer for pope Francis

2025 is a jubilee year for the Catholic Church, traditionally a time for renewal and the forgiveness of debt and sin. For millions of Catholics, it also brings an opportunity for a pilgrimage to Rome – and that would normally involve being part of a mass or public prayer led by the Pope. 

But with Pope Francis still in recovery from double pneumonia, pilgrims are finding new ways to mark the jubilee. Hermione Kitson reports from Rome.
