Christmas Midnight Mass at Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity | News Today | DRM News | AQ12

Christmas Midnight Mass at Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity In the early hours of December 25, 2024, Christian worshippers gathered for the midnight Christmas mass at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, a town revered by Christians as the birthplace of Jesus. Despite the ongoing war in nearby Gaza, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Pierbattista Pizzaballa, led the service in a solemn atmosphere. This year, Bethlehem marked Christmas with no festive decorations or illuminations, a reflection of the ongoing conflict. The Christmas tree in front of the Church of the Nativity remained unlit, and the streets lacked the usual holiday decorations due to the situation in Gaza. The Church of the Nativity is jointly administered by the Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, and Armenian Churches. Despite the lack of celebrations, the faithful in Bethlehem, a small but resilient Christian community, continued to uphold religious traditions. In this video, we explore the significance of this Christmas service in a year marked by unrest and uncertainty. #Bethlehem #ChurchOfTheNativity #ChristmasMass #MidnightMass #Christmas2024 #GazaConflict #BethlehemChristmas #ChristianWorship #ChristmasInBethlehem #LatinPatriarch #HolidayFaith #ChristmasRituals #ReligiousService #JesusBirthplace #ChristmasTraditions Bethlehem, Church of the Nativity, Midnight Mass, Christmas 2024, Gaza Conflict, Christmas Mass, Christmas in Bethlehem, Christian Worship, Christmas Service, Latin Patriarch Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Religious Rituals, Palestinian Christmas, Bethlehem Christmas Tree, Christmas Traditions, Christmas Without Festivities DRM News brings comprehensive coverage of global affairs from a unique and unbiased perspective.
