PopeBenedict XVI will celebrate Mass on Christmas Eve beginning at 10 pm rather than at midnight, the Vatican has announced. The scheduling change, which was made several weeks ago, was explained as a way “to tire the Pope a bit less.”
The Eucharistic celebration is now expected to end at around midnight, enabling the Pontiff to have a full night’s sleep before Christmas Day, when he will appear at noon to deliver his Urbi et Orbi blessing from the loggia of St. Peter’s basilica.
