The Vatican lights the Christmas tree

The tree was brought from the central region of Abruzzo. It will last through all the Christmas holidays – until January 8th.

A Christmas tree was lit in St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican. The tree, 30 meters high, was brought from the small mountain village of Rosello in the Abruzzo region. During the official ceremony, a manger with figures of the Holy Family, donated by the northern Italian village of Sutrio, was also opened in the square. On Saturday, December 3, the Vatican News website reported.

A nativity scene was opened nearby. It was made by a team of 11 workers from the northeastern Italian region of Friuli Venezia Giulia. The figure of the child Jesus is not yet there, it will appear on Christmas night.

The spruce itself is decorated with garlands, and its crown is crowned with a bright red star. It is worth noting that the tree is decorated with the products of patients of a psychiatric rehabilitation institution.

At the grand opening of the Christmas tree Pope Francis thanked representatives of Italian municipalities for their donations and briefly reflected on the symbolism of the Christmas tree.

“The tree with lights reminds us of Jesus, who comes to illuminate our darkness, our existence, which is often locked in the shadows of sin, fear and pain. But it also leads to the idea that people, like trees, need roots, “firm foundations” to remain stable, grow and withstand the winds of life,” said Pope Francis.

Around 100,000 tourists are expected to visit the Vatican during the Christmas holidays.

European countries have reopened Christmas markets, this time without pandemic-related restrictions.

It will be remembered that US President Joe Biden’s residence is traditionally decorated for New Year and Christmas by First Lady Jill Biden.
