(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 31 - Pope Francis on Friday visited children in a cancer ward at Rome's Gemelli Hospital where he is recovering from a bronchial infection and is set to be discharged Saturday.
    Francis visited the children in the paediatric oncology ward in the Agistino Gemelli Hospital, bringing them rosaries, chocolate eggs and copies of the book "Jesus Was Born in Bethlehem Judea", papal sources said.
    During the visit, which lasted about half an hour, the Pope imparted the sacrament of baptism to a baby boy, named Miguel Angel, just a few weeks old. At the end, he returned to his own ward. (ANSA).
