As this year's Vatican Christmas tree and nativity scene were unveiled on Dec. 3, Pope Francis reminded the faithful to "stay rooted in Jesus Christ" during the holidays, the Religion News website reports today (Dec. 7, 2022).
"The tree teaches us about our roots; the nativity scene invites us to contemplation," he said.
"The tree, with its lights, is a reminder that Jesus comes to lighten our darkness, our existence, which is often enclosed in the shadow of sin, of fear, of pain." Francis said during the afternoon audience.
