Pope Leo celebrated his first “Passion of the Lord” service as pontiff at St. Peter’s Basilica.
The solemn service commemorates the Christian belief in Jesus’ crucifixion and his death at Calvary.
Today we commemorate Good Friday, the day of Christ’s Passion and Death on the Cross—the most solemn day of the Church’s year. Here are 4 things to know:
1️⃣ Mass is not celebrated: instead, the liturgy centers on the Passion and the adoration of the Cross.
2️⃣ A day of fasting and abstinence: Catholics are called to penance through fasting and abstaining from meat.
3️⃣ The Church is bare: altars are stripped, and silence marks the solemnity of the day.
4️⃣ The liturgical color is red: symbolizing Christ’s blood, sacrifice, and love poured out for humanity.
Today, the Church stands at the foot of the Cross, contemplating the mystery of redemption. ✝️

♰ Handprint of Jesus - V Station of the Cross ♰
"As the soldiers led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus."
Luke 23:26
🎥 The handprint at the Fifth Station of the Cross on the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem, Holy Land 🇻🇦
It is a small hollow in a stone wall located inside the Franciscan Chapel of Simon of Cyrene. Tradition holds that this depression was originally formed when Jesus stumbled while carrying the cross and rested his hand on the wall for support, leaving a bloody imprint that was later preserved as a relic.
Over the centuries, the stone has been repeatedly touched by pilgrims, causing the surface to wear down and the hollow to deepen into a smooth, collective palm-print.
🇹🇬🗣️ Emmanuel Adebayor:
“When I arrived at Real Madrid, we all knew that Cristiano Ronaldo was a true professional. Always punctual, always focused.
I wanted to give my best from day one, so I decided to arrive an hour before training, at 8:45. I thought: ‘I’ll be the first to arrive, set the example, show that I’m professional.’
But when I walked in, the place was dark and silent… until I heard noises downstairs. I asked about it and they told me: ‘Cristiano is already swimming.’
I couldn’t believe it. He had been there since 7:30, doing his routine while I thought I was early.
I went to greet him, we spoke briefly, and he was kind. But I realised something: he wasn’t there to impress anyone — he was there because of his passion and discipline.
Three hours before training, working in silence.
From that day on I understood that the difference between being good and being legendary isn’t talent — it’s daily commitment. And today, even at 41, he’s still at the top of football, a living example of consistency and love for what you do.”
This moment at the Santiago Bernabéu brought tears to our eyes.
First, Dani Carvajal—the last survivor of Real Madrid’s golden era—left the pitch to a standing ovation from everyone.
Dani handed the captain’s armband to Fede Valverde, the man who became Toni Kroos’s successor. Early in his career, he was unknown to everyone, and now he has become Real Madrid’s captain.
Then, Fede passed the armband to Vinícius, who carries the heaviest number at Real Madrid on his back, but a few years ago he was mocked by everyone. He turned those laughs into applause.
And finally, Vinícius gave the captain’s armband to Lunin, a man who has been waiting for his moment for more than 8 years and always shows up in the big moments—wearing the captain’s armband for the first time in his career.
They never gave up, they fought harder than anyone, and now they are living the dream of their lives.
