Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: The face of grief, A nun offers prayers for the safe recovery of Pope John Paul II. This was the scene in St. Peter's Square today, as the faithful continued to gather, 24 hours after the Pontiff was gunned down by two shots from an assassin's pistol. A slight, silver haired woman who led pilgrims in hymns said she did not hold a grudge against the gunman. Our Lord said to forgive them because they know not what they do. she said.
