This is Pope Francis' Christmas card.
It depicts the Birth of Christ, designed by Belgian artist Victor Delhez, who lived Argentina in the early 20th century.
The Christ Child occupies a tiny space in the humble scene which focuses on what surrounds Him: Mary and Joseph, the Magi, barn animals, and peasants.
On the back is a passage from the Gospel of Luke which reads “Viderunt oculi mei salutare tuum,” my eyes have seen your salvation. As well as the Pope's iconic signature.
It is similar to the Pope's past Christmas cards, which show tender scenes of the Nativity.
