Millions of Christians around the world celebrated a second Easter under coronavirus restrictions on Sunday with Pope Francis calling for vaccines to be shared among the poorest nations as Covid-19 surges.

Vaccination was an essential tool in the fight against the virus, the pope said in his Easter Sunday address, with Italy under a strict lockdown over the weekend.
