  • On Dec. 7, 2024, Pope Francis publicly showed off the Vatican's 2024 Christmas decorations: a Nativity scene and Christmas tree in St. Peter's Square and a second Nativity scene inside the Vatican. However, one of those Nativities contained what some online viewed as a stark political statement. The Nativity of Bethlehem 2024, located in Paul VI hall, featured the baby Jesus wrapped in a kaffiyeh, a scarf traditional to the Palestinian people. Several news outlets reported on the display, and photos of the pope with the Nativity spread on social media. Given the ongoing conflicts in the region, users left comments supporting the pope's statement or condemning it, depending on their personal beliefs about the Israel-Hamas war. Several Snopes readers wrote in asking whether Pope Francis appeared with the Nativity. The photos of the Pope with the Nativity were real, and were captured by multiple photojournalists. After viewing the Nativity, the Pope released a statement commenting on the Vatican's Christmas decorations. According to that statement, that Nativity was presented to the Vatican on behalf of the city of Bethlehem, located inside the Palestinian West Bank. Vatican News, the official news source of the Vatican, wrote that the nativity was designed by two artists from Bethlehem, Johny Andonia and Faten Nastas Mitwasi. In his address, the pope called for peace in the area and condemned the arms industry for profiting from violence. Finally, let us look at the Nativity displays of Bethlehem, built in the land where the Son of God was born. They are different, but they all bear the same message of peace and love that Jesus left us. Before it, let us remember the brothers and sisters who, instead, right there and in other parts of the world, are suffering from the tragedy of war. With tears in our eyes, let us raise our prayer for peace. Brothers and sisters, enough war, enough violence! Do you know that one of the most profitable investments here is in arms production? Profit for killing… But how come? Enough wars! May there be peace in all the world and for all men, whom God loves (cf. Lk 2:14)!
