Both Christmas Masses in the Sarajevo Cathedral were led by the Archbishop of Vrhbosna, Metropolitan Mons. Tomo Vuksic.

“Grateful to the heavens for this birth and the gift of salvation, we ask the mercy of God to forgive us our weaknesses so that we can, first of all, celebrate this Eucharistic celebration in a dignified way and thus prepare for our final conversion and consecration for the sake of our eternal salvation and the salvation of all people,” Archbishop Vuksic said.
