Eglise du Pape François #Vatican

On the forecourt of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, the scene was well set before 12:00 with more than 30,000 faithful for the Pope's Christmas message followed by the Orbi et Urbi blessing. This blessing only occurs twice a year: at Christmas and Easter when the Holy Father blesses the eternal city of Rome and the entire world. After he returned to the central box in St. Peter's Square in the Vatican, two national anthems (of Italy and the Vatican) were performed by the Italian army.
