Pope Francis asked people on Dec. 14 to spend less on Christmas celebrations, using the savings to help Ukrainians through a very difficult winter.
“Let’s have a more humble Christmas, with more humble gifts, and send what we save to the Ukrainian people, who need it,” he said.
On Dec. 9, the Pope was seen crying during a prayer for Ukraine.
