ROME and LONDON -- Pope Francis appeared on Sunday in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican for an Easter Sunday blessing, after a brief earlier meeting with Vice President JD Vance.

Vance arrived at Casa Santa Marta in the Vatican shortly after 11:30 a.m. local time, the Vatican's Holy See Press Office said in a statement.

"The meeting, which lasted a few minutes, gave them the opportunity to exchange Easter greetings," the office said.

Seated in his wheelchair, he blessed the crowd and said, "Buona Pasqua!" or "Happy Easter!" The pope's Easter message included a call for an end to conflicts in the Middle East, Europe and Africa.
