What To Expect
Christmas is a magical time of year by itself. If you add Italy to that mix, it becomes a fairytale. While the Eternal City offers an extensive list of festive celebrations, seeing the Pope present his Christmas Eve at the top. Regardless of religion, the Vatican Christmas is a special occasion that spreads unity and peace. Not to mention, you see Pope Francis deliver the most-watched mass in the world. Join a congregation of roughly 15,000 people to ring in the joyful holiday. The Christmas Eve Mass is traditionally celebrated in St. Peter's Basilica. When it´s all filled with people, it can be easy to miss all the iconic detail that makes the Basilica so famous. The Christmas Eve "Midnight" Mass is on December 24th at 9:15 pm - not midnight. Tickets are free but they are extremely hard to find, so booking in advance is essential.
