Description
Catholic cardinals in Rome mark the start of the Lent religious season without Pope Francis, as the 88-year-old spends his 20th day in hospital, seriously ill with pneumonia. The celebrations are held at the Basilica of Santa Sabina in Rome, presided over by the Pope's delegate, Cardinal Angelo De Donatis. The Argentine pontiff, head of the worldwide Catholic Church, usually leads the Ash Wednesday celebrations marking the start of 40 days of prayer and sacrifice before Easter, the holiest period in the Christian calendar.
