The Holy Father celebrated the Solemnity of the Nativity of the Lord with Mass during the night, held in St. Peter’s Basilica on Dec. 24.
A manger, the Christ Child’s first resting place, can teach us a lot about the meaning of Christmas, Pope Francis said in his Christmas homily.
“In order to rediscover the meaning of Christmas, we need to look to the manger,” he said on Dec. 24.
“Yet why is the manger so important? Because it is the sign, and not by chance, of Christ’s coming into this world,” he said. “It is how he announces his coming. It is the way God is born in history, so that history itself can be reborn.”
Pope Francis celebrated the Solemnity of the Nativity of the Lord with Mass during the night, held in St. Peter’s Basilica at 7:30pm on Dec. 24.
