Pope Francis skipped the traditional Good Friday procession at Rome's Colosseum to protect his health, the Vatican said, making a last-minute decision that added to concerns about his frail condition during a particularly busy period.

On Thursday, he left the Vatican to preside over the Holy Thursday foot-washing ritual at a Rome women's prison.
