Pope Francis removed the crowd in the Vatican as he made his first public appearance after leaving the hospital.
The Pope – in a wheelchair with a breathable tube up his nose – briefly appeared on stage at St. Peter's square on Sunday.
The 88-year-old Pontif has not been monitored in public since he was discharged from the Gemeli Hospital in Rome on March 23 after receiving treatment for pneumonia.
At that time, doctors said it would take at least two months of rest.
