Controversy in Rome around the Stations of the Cross on Good Friday, Friday April 15. The Vatican wishes to have a Russian woman and a Ukrainian woman carry the cross, a gesture very badly received by kyiv.
The initiative of the Vatican (Italy) for the Stations of the Cross on Good Friday in Rome is badly perceived by the Ukrainian government. While tens of thousands of people are expected in the evening, Friday, April 15, for the ceremony, the pope has taken the decision to carry the cross “by a Russian woman and a Ukrainian woman“, indicates the journalist Alban Mikoczy, present on the spot. They are two nurses “who know each other very wellwork together and “campaign for peace“, continues the journalist.
It is “too premature” for Kyiv (Ukraine), which reports that “we are not celebrating peace, we are looking for a ceasefire“, reports Alban Mikoczy. Pope Francis will maintain the ceremony despite everything, during which “he will give remarks which will undoubtedly be very strong in favor of peace“, indicates the journalist. The crowd on the spot “looks great“, concludes Alban Mikoczy.
