The traditional Christmas Mass was held this year by Pope Francisescu two hours earlier so that people could return home by 10:00. Mass was broadcast live on the Vatican Channel on YouTube.
In the presence of about 100 people, or something more, all wearing masks, the Pope said that Jesus ' “line allows us to re-install each year and find strength in Him”. The pope stressed the need to help the poor and reflect on our injustices.
My Lord George Frando in a live link at “Open” in Top Channel said that Christmas this year in Albania, as never before, was celebrated under fear of pandemic.
“Mesha finished at exactly 19:15. The church was full, they imagined there would be little, and we had decided where they were going to sit, but unfortunately they didn't hear about the fact that it was full, even though we tried to be in the distance and in the mask. But we had a happy atmosphere. We mass at midnight usually, for centuries, the Gospel does not speak of midnight but says that Jesus was born at night. I was surprised to see the church full of it today, and I was impressed and excited”, he said.
