This Christmas morning, the Cathedral of Monaco hosted its traditional Nativity Mass, an event that holds deep spiritual and cultural significance for the Principality…
Celebrated by the Archbishop of Monaco, the service drew many faithful, reflecting the enduring power of the holiday season to unite and inspire.
Monsignor David delivered a poignant message of peace, aligning with the words of Pope Francis, who earlier in the day called for the silencing of weapons during his Urbi et Orbi blessing to the city and the world. The Archbishop’s appeal resonated with the congregation, emphasizing hope and reconciliation amidst global challenges.
The mass also marked the anticipation of the Holy Year 2025, a grand event for the Catholic Church that is expected to bring over 30 million pilgrims to Rome from around the globe. The festive atmosphere within the Cathedral, paired with the solemnity of the Archbishop’s address, underscored the shared values of faith, peace, and community.
Monaco’s Nativity Mass remains a cherished tradition, blending the sacred with the festive, and offering a moment of reflection and joy for residents and visitors alike during the holiday season.
