Pope John Paul II, prays holding a cross during the Via Crucis (Way of the Cross) torchlight procession on Good Friday in front of the Colosseum in Rome, Friday, April 13, 2001. The 80-year-old pontiff did not walk around the whole Colosseum but watched most of the traditional Via Crucis procession kneeling for the first time in his 22-year papacy.
