POPE BLESSES FAITHFUL FROM HIS STUDY WINDOW


VATICAN CITY, MAR 23, 2005 (VIS) - This morning, the Holy Father appeared at the window of his study in the Vatican's Apostolic Palace and blessed the faithful gathered in St Peter's Square below.

  Despite the fact that the Pope's general audience, traditionally held on Wednesdays, was not scheduled to take place, hundreds of people, including a large group from Poland, had gathered in the St Peter's Square prior to the Pope's 11 a.m. appearance so as to receive his blessing.

  Images of John Paul II were relayed on giant screens located in the square.
