Pope Benedict XVI, holds a candle during the Vatican's Easter vigil at St. Peter's Basilica, at the Vatican Saturday, April 7, 2012. Christians on Easter joyously mark their belief that Christ rose from the dead after his crucifixion. Praying at the start of the service, Benedict said Easter brings hope to the faithful. On Sunday morning, he will lead Easter Mass in St. Peter's Square. (AP Photo/Pier Paolo Cito)
