Pope Francis Not Replacing Christmas with “Feast of Peace”
Social media claims that Pope Francis is replacing Christmas with a “Feast of Peace” have been debunked, with no evidence to support the assertion. The Pope’s scheduled liturgies during the Christmas season reaffirm the traditional celebration of Christmas and the birth of Jesus Christ. While the Pope has used past Christmas messages to call for peace and address current global issues, there is no indication that Christmas is being replaced with a new holiday. Previous Christmas messages from the Pope have focused on urging an end to wars and conflicts around the world, emphasizing the importance of peace and compassion. The Pope’s Christmas appearances this year will include the Jubilee of Hope, mass in Saint Peter’s Basilica, the traditional Urbi et Orbi address on Christmas Day, and other festive events leading up to the Baptism of the Lord in January. Despite social media rumors, there is no plan to replace Christmas with a “Feast of Peace” as the Pope continues to advocate for peace and unity during the holiday season.
