The Urbi et Orbi ("to the City [of Rome] and to the World") dis papal address and Apostolic Blessing given to the City of Rome and the World. We have one every Christmas day which is a big event world wide and in Rome to come out and listen too.
Rocco Palmo has the text here at "Bambino, Bring Peace" – In Francis' Christmas Prayer, A Call To Be "Moved".
Rocco also mentioned as a small interesting matter the prior practice of doing the Urbi et Prbi in mnay languages by the Pope appears to be now a things of the past at least under this Pope.
