Pope Leo leads mass and delivers the traditional Christmas Day message from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica. Known as the ‘Urbi et Orbi’ speech, it is expected to comment on a range of global conflicts.

Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon on December 24 that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself.
