Rome: Christians across the world celebrated Christmas Wednesday, with the mood darkened by wars and chaos and a plane crash in Kazakhstan.
With the war in Gaza also showing no signs of ending, Pope Francis was also expected to call for peace in the Middle East during his traditional "Urbi et Orbi" (to the city and the world) speech at midday in Rome.
