Pope Francis blessed baby Jesus statuettes of children after his customary Sunday appearance for the Angelus prayer.This year, fewer people than usual gathered in St. Peter's Square to attend the annual ritual and listen to the words of the Pontiff. The Pope saluted all children who were following the event via mass media. Before leaving his window, Pope Francis wished a good Sunday to everybody and urged Christians not to forget about joy.
