ROME: POPE FRANCIS MARKS CHRISTMAS MASS AT VATICAN
Pope Francis has celebrated a late-night Christmas Mass at the Vatican amid heavy security.
The head of the Catholic Church denounced the continuing suffering of children.
He mentioned those who faced hunger, danger on migration routes and bombing in Syrian cities such as Aleppo.
Those taking part in the service inside St Peter's Basilica had to pass through metal detectors.
Saturday's Mass celebrating the birth of Jesus is the first major event of the Christmas season for the Pope, which will include his noon blessing on Christmas Day.
