Christmas is being celebrated across the globe today. Christians all over the world celebrate Christmas to mark the birth of Jesus Christ. On the occasion, people decorate their houses by putting a Christmas tree, illuminated paper star, Holly wreaths and exchange gifts. Churches of all denominations are organising special Christmas services and events. 

 

 

Pope Leo XIV is presiding over the Christmas celebrations for the first time after being elected in May this year. Today, the pope will celebrate a Christmas Day Mass and deliver a twice-yearly “Urbi et Orbi” (to the city and the world) message and blessing.
