Pope Francis, who is recovering from double-sided pneumonia, plans to give his blessing on Easter Sunday, the Vatican announced on Thursday.
It is unclear how the blessing will be pronounced, or to what extent the Pope will be able to participate in other Easter celebrations.
The 88-year-old Pope Francis returned home on Sunday after five weeks in hospital. The doctors have said that he needs to recover for at least two months. The Pope's illness has raised concerns about his participation in this year's Easter celebrations.
