Pope Francis will
celebrate a Christmas night Mass starting at 21:30 on Christmas
Eve in St Peter's, the Vatican said.
The Mass will be beamed live across the world, it said.
On Christmas Day Francis will deliver his much-anticipated
address 'Urbi et Orbi' (to the City and the World), in which he
prays for the most suffering parts of the world.
On Sunday the pope said the doors of the Catholic Church
remained open to migrants.
