Holy Father to light 6 ton tree in St. Peter's Square



Excerpted from CNA article:

The tree that was brought to us from the "dark and shadowy" forest is now in the light and covered in decorations like "many marvelous fruits," Benedict remarked. 

"Leaving behind its somber robe for a sparkling radiance.  It has been transformed."

"It becomes the carrier of a light that is no longer its own but bears witness to the true Light that comes to the world," said the Pontiff, likening the tree to the shepherds at the birth of Christ.
