Christmas blessing.
Text transcribed from caption: C-45047 CHRISTMAS BLESSING VATICAN CITY -- Pope Paul VI delivers his traditional Christmas blessing, "Urbi et Orbi" ("To the City of Rome and the World"), to some 50,000 persons filling St. Peter's Square. In his Christmas Day message, the Pope warned against a humanism that "exalts man" as "man's god," insisting that mankind is in need of salvation and a Savior.
