It is traditional on Easter Sunday for the pope to deliver a brief address, the "urbi et orbi" ("to the city and the world"). The city is, of course, Rome, "the heart of Christianity," and the world is the entire global village with all its religious, cultural, political, racial and economic diversity. While popes always have addressed themselves to the whole world, Pope Francis recognizes that his audience is "linked by modern technology" now more than ever.
