Description:Pope Benedict delivers a Christmas message of peace to the world. Speaking from the central loggia of St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican to thousands of tourists and pilgrims, the pontiff calls for an end to the bloodshed in Syria as well as the resumption of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks. He prays that the birth of Jesus would send a message to all who need to be saved from hardship. Thousands gathered in the sun-drenched piazza to hear the Pope's message.(1:23)
