Pope Francis late at Angelus
after being stuck in elevator
Vatican Fire Service (ANSA) |
Pope Francis says “sorry I’m late” after he appears for
Angelus later than usual due to a problem with an elevator.
The cheer of the pilgrims and tourists in St Peter’s Square
was even louder than usual for Pope Francis at the Sunday Angelus. The Pope
appeared a few minutes late at the window of the Apostolic Palace which
prompted an outburst of applause when people saw him
Pope Francis apologized for his late appearance, explaining
to those gathered that he was stuck in an elevator for 25 minutes and managed
to get out thanks to the intervention of the Vatican's Fire Brigade
Here's what he had to say:
“I must apologize for the delay”, he said, “but there was an
incident: I was locked in the elevator for 25 minutes! There was a drop in
voltage and the elevator stopped. Thank God the Fire Brigade came - thank you
so much! - and after 25 minutes of work they managed to get it to go. Let's
hear it for the Fire Brigade!”
