Pope Francis welcomed families of Vatican employees to have their newborns baptized in the Sistine Chapel on the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. The pope encouraged the parents to help their children, "illuminated by Christ" to live as "children of light". On this feast, 21 babies began their journey into the Catholic faith. During the celebration, Pope Francis reflected on one of the main symbols of Baptism, the Paschal candle. He encouraged the families to carry the light throughout their lives.
