Philip Imundi Pope Francis passed away yesterday, April 21, after having been present on Easter Sunday in front of thousands of faithful who were waiting for his dear greeting, he did not fail to shake hands and touch the faces of newborns from the popemobile. However, his face was a clear sign of death that would come in less than 24 hours.
Pope Francis, in his gaze a precarious state of health
Watching the latest videos of Pope Francesco alive during the Easter celebration In St. Peter's Square it was clear that something was not going well, despite the treatments he was receiving at Casa Santa Marta.
The role of head of Christianity was a considerable commitment to him and, as was his wont, he did not skimp on being present at all, so much so that He apologized for not being able to wash the feet of the inmates of Regina Coeli, to whom he did not fail to convey his greetings.
Commitments, those of the Easter weekend which undoubtedly further weakened a Pope very tired and tried by the illness he has been fighting for the last 2 months.
Hippocratic Face, how the Pope's face looked on Easter Sunday
Pope Francesco he presented himself to the faithful in St. Peter's Square on Easter Sunday without nose pads or oxygen therapy aids, a clear sign that he was improving but his Hippocratic facies "betrayed" him, being the manifestation of imminent death.
What is the Hippocratic facies – the Hippocratic Faces has a sharp nose, sunken eyes, sunken temples and a livid facial color, sometimes tending towards greenish.
Pope Francis had many of these elements on his face on Sunday, a clear sign of a person close to death, perhaps this is also why he wanted to show himself to the world one last time without any respiratory aid so as not to give any indication that it was the last Angelus of his life.
