Pope Francis delivered his annual Easter message Sunday after leading Mass at St. Peter's Square in Vatican City.
In his “Urbi et Orbi” (“to the city and the world”) message, the pope asked for prayers for Syria; the Holy Land, Yemen and the Middle East; Africa; North and South Korea; Ukraine; and Venezuela.
The pope also prayed for children who "grow up without hope, lacking education and health care" and elderly people "who are cast off by a selfish culture," according to Catholic news site Crux.
