VATICAN CITY, MAR 16, 2005 (VIS) - Shortly before 11.30 this morning the Pope appeared at the window of his apartment in the Vatican's Apostolic Palace and blessed several times the people gathered below in St Peter's Square.
The large numbers of faithful in the square - mostly Polish pilgrims who applauded the Pope as soon as he appeared - was due to the fact that today is traditionally the day of the Pope's weekly general audience in the Vatican.
The images of John Paul II were relayed on two giant screens placed in St Peter's Square.
