Francis, 85, concluded this year by participating in the December 31 vespers in Saint Peter's. But he didn’t preside as expected, leaving this to Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, 87.
The Vatican did not explain why this last minute change was made. The program said that Francis would preside.
Francis walked in unassisted and appeared to be in good condition. He sat on a chair at the side for most of the time, however, when he walked to the ambo and read the homily he did both with difficulty.
As in 2020, Francis cancelled the traditional visit to the nativity scene in St. Peter's Square. This change was announced beforehand under the pretext of avoiding crowds.

Paus Franciscus weet niet wat een kerststal en een vesper betekent, daarom heeft hij geen belangstelling.

"Rome is a wonderful city, that never ceases to enchant. But for those who live here, it is also a difficult city, unfortunately not always dignified for those who live here or its visitors, a city that sometimes rejects." [especially the unvaccinated]

" a city that sometimes rejects." He means his precious Muslim migrants, LGBTQ's, and the transexuals/transgenders he came to the rescue to last year, providing them with shelter and COVID-19 shots. Disgusting!
