On Friday, the Vatican press office said that Francis had been undergoing physical therapy in the Vatican guesthouse where he lives and decided to go into the basilica to pray.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cHe is clearly improving, that you have been able to note from the outings of recent days,\u201d a Vatican spokesman said on Friday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Earlier this week, the pope made a surprise appearance at a Mass in St. Peter\u2019s Square and met privately with King Charles III and Queen Camilla of Britain, who were paying a visit previously postponed by the pope\u2019s illness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When Francis was discharged from a Rome hospital on <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/23\/world\/europe\/pope-francis-rome.html\" title=\"\">March 23<\/a>, his doctors instructed him to rest for at least two months. They cautioned him to steer clear of children, who can be carriers of respiratory diseases, but in one video posted online, Francis shook hands with a young boy and in another he caressed a baby.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But it was the pope\u2019s attire Thursday that drew the most attention. There was considerable discussion among Vatican watchers about whether the striped cloth he wore to keep warm was a poncho, or just a blanket folded over him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Inside St. Peter\u2019s, Francis stopped to say hello to two restorers putting the final touches on the restoration of the 17th-century tomb and monument of Pope Urban VIII, by the Baroque master Bernini, which was presented to the media on Friday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt was just us, the pope, and the people with him, so it was an extraordinary thing, unique,\u201d said Michela Malfanti, one of the restorers. \u201cHe wanted to shake our hands, and mine was very cold and I was afraid to give it to him, but he was very warm, and kind and he asked me to give it to him in any case.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
