Pope Francis unveiled the annual nativity scene at the Vatican over the weekend - raising some eyebrows in the process.
A noticeable addition this year saw the seminal scene's baby Jesus draped in a keffiyeh - a traditional scarf used by Palestinians as a national symbol.
Jesus was born into a Jewish family in Bethlehem some 2,000 years ago - and his death triggered the birth of Christianity.
A statement from the wheelchair-bound pontiff, moreover, saw him humbly ask onlookers for peace in the Middle East, weeks after he called for an investigation into what he said may be a 'genocide' occurring in the Gaza Strip.
That came in response to repeated Israeli military attacks in the region - also considered the holy land in the Catholic faith.
On Sunday, the 87-year-old was gifted a 'Star of Bethlehem' plaque by two Palestinian children - paving the way for an impassioned speech.

Ok - that’s it. The pope needs to be ex-communicated - NOW
He’s a leftist jerk. Won’t miss him.
Guess he’s a Jew hater if that’s what’s fashionable among his fellow communists.
Jesus was a Jew.
¡Hagan Lio!
Absolute blasphemy.
He needs to be ex-somethinged.
Outrageous!
As a Catholic who is married to a Jewish woman, I’m offended and outraged that the Vatican is using the Nativity to make a political statement. The Pope has to go.
The Red Pope .
The Anti Christ .
Evil, blasphemous man.
The Pope who destroyed Catholicism for 100-200 years.
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Galatians 6:7
Awww... To think that Baby Jesus’ first words were Alahu Akbar!
Perhaps the Cardinals can get some advice (and phone numbers) from Hillary.
The Pope cant recognize the enemy right in front of him. Disgraceful.
I hope he drops dead and the sooner the better!
Legitimizing hate worldwide against us Jews is just too much!
Uparrow!
The great majority of the voting Cardinals were appointed by Francis. And birds of a feather flock together. So when Francis goes, most probably…
My fear is that the next one will be just as bad. He’s had decades to rid the College of Cardinals of all conservatives and put in his own liberal fringe. And unlike US elections, there’s no one to balance out an idiot once one has been chosen by the previous pope’s picked choosers.
To the liberal, there is no difference between liberalism and Christianity.
I don’t see him encouraging Muslims to wear a kippah. No. He knows better.
