Pope Benedict XVI delivers his ‘Urbi et Orbi’ message and blessing from the central balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica at the end of the Easter Mass on April 8, 2012 in Vatican City, Vatican.
Pope Benedict XVI held an Easter vigil service Sunday and Saturday night, but voiced fears that mankind is groping in darkness, unable to distinguish good from evil. Elsewhere, Christians and non-Christians alike celebrate Easter their own way.
