At the end of the year, when the situation and economic conditions are dark, Christmas has come as a comfort for the first time in a long time.

Citizens spent a warm day with their loved ones, hoping that peace and hope will be in our society.

Reporter Song Jae-in's report.

Myeongdong Cathedral is crowded from early hours.

It is a Christmas landscape that is no different from previous years, but as it is a chaotic situation, the prayers of the believers are deeper than ever.

[Lee Hee-joong / Seokchon-dong, Seoul: I hope we can understand each other and cheer each other up. [I hope that the Lord will lead us to a peaceful country]

Archbishop Chung Soon-taek also expressed his hope to restore hope through a Christmas mass.

[Jeong Soon-taek / Archbishop: Looking at the humble and humble appearance of baby Jesus, I hope we can discover the light of hope even in the difficulties we face now...]

Now that I have cute decorations and Christmas desserts in my hands, I finally realize the year-end atmosphere.

[Song Sangho / Mia-dong, Seoul: (The country) is in a chaotic situation, so I came here to refresh myself and feel the end of the year.]

[Song Daeun / Mia-dong, Seoul: It's so much fun to come out with my mom and dad.]

The downtown skating rink was full of citizens who went out to relieve the stress of being laid down.

By making memories with loved ones, I healed my tired mind throughout the end of the year.

[Cho Seong-rae / Anam-dong, Seoul: It's because I'm nervous, but it's been a long time since I came out thinking I should enjoy it even at times like this.]

On Christmas, the citizens spent a warm day reflecting on the peace and love of the baby Jesus.
