** EDS: ALTERNATIVE CROP OF VAT101 ** In this photo made available by the Vatican newspaper Osservatore Romano, Pope John Paul II looks out of his studio's window overlooking St. Peter's Square prior to giving Easter Sunday blessing at the Vatican, Sunday, March 27, 2005. For the first time since his papacy began in 1978, the pontiff skipped Easter Sunday Mass at midmorning while he continues his convalescence following two recent hospitalizations for breathing problems.
