On Christmas Eve 2024, hundreds of Chinese Catholics gathered for Mass at the Church of the Saviour in Beijing, despite a heavy police presence outside the church. Catholicism remains a minority religion in China, with tensions stemming from the historical suppression of religious practices. The relationship between the Vatican and Beijing has been strained, though a 2018 agreement aimed to bridge the gap between the state-backed church and underground groups loyal to the Pope. The Mass is expected to continue through midnight with rotating groups of worshippers.
