Pope Francis has urged people to celebrate Christmas more modestly and donate the savings to Ukraine.

The head of the Catholic Church said during a general audience at the Vatican on Wednesday that people could cut back on festive spending this year and celebrate with more humble gifts.

โ€œLet us send what we save to the people of Ukraine who need it, who are suffering so much, who are hungry and cold,โ€ the 85-year-old urged.

The Argentinian prays weekly for the people in the Eastern European country who are suffering under Russiaโ€™s war.

Francis called for a โ€œconcrete gestureโ€ to be made towards them. (dpa/NAN)
