Christmas Eve Mass at the Vatican with Pope Leone XIV Private
+5 photos
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 Mass at the Vatican is at the top. Regardless of religion, the Vatican Christmas Mass is a special occasion that spreads unity and peace. Not to mention, you see Pope Leone XIV 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 of the iconic detail that makes the Basilica so famous. The Christmas Eve “Midnight” Mass is on December 24th at 9:15pm–not midnight. Tickets are free but they are extremely hard to find, so booking in advance is essential.
