Pope Francis appealed for solidarity, saying ``this is not a time for self-centeredness''

BY , Apr 12, 2020 11:37 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Pope Francis delivered Easter Sunday Mass from a nearly empty St. Peter's Basilica due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The pontiff appealed for solidarity the world over to confront the ``epochal challenge'' posed by virus, saying ``this is not a time for self-centeredness.''

Police checkpoints in Europe and closed churches around the globe forced the faithful to watch Easter services online or on TV.
