Singer Fafá de Belém changed her Christmas plans to attend the first Christmas Mass celebrated by Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican. The invitation arrived on Monday, December 22, altering her trip to Portugal. The ceremony took place on Wednesday night, December 24.
Fafá de Belém, a well-known Brazilian artist, was preparing to spend Christmas in Portugal with friends when she received an unexpected invitation on Monday, December 22. The call was to attend the Christmas Mass at the Vatican, the first presided over by Pope Leo XIV, whose secular name is Robert Prevost, as Supreme Pontiff.
The change of plans deeply moved the singer, who traveled immediately to Rome. The ceremony, held at St. Peter's Basilica on the night of December 24, marked the beginning of Leo XIV's pontificate. Fafá de Belém expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to experience this historic moment in the Catholic Church.
This event underscores the connection between Brazilian culture and the Vatican, with the presence of a prominent figure from national music at a papal celebration. The artist, who recently celebrated weight loss and commented on investigations in Pará, found this invitation a highlight in her festive schedule.
