The Angelus
Sunday, February 23, 2025
St. Peter’s Square, Vatican
12:00 – 12:15
tickets are not requested
Whether you’re religious or not, it’s always amazing to see a globally important figure in the flesh. The Angelus, a holy Catholic church devotion, is held at St Peter’s Square in Vatican most Sundays at midday. Pope Francis will appear from the window of his study overlooking Saint Peter’s Square, and he gives a short speech followed by the Angelus, ending with an Apostolic blessing. He may also greet the crowd in various languages.
The blessing, including the various greetings, usually lasts a maximum of 15 minutes. You do not need tickets for the Sunday Angelus, and almost any spot in Saint Peter’s Square will give you a good view, but you should plan to get there early because going through security takes time.
Check the Pope’s official schedule on the Vatican’s website to check times and for any cancellations.
