Pope Benedict XVI greets the faithful as he arrives to celebrate Christmas Mass in St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican, Thursday, Dec. 24, 2009. A Vatican spokesman said a woman jumped barriers and knocked down the pontiff as he was arriving for the traditional Christmas Eve Mass in St. Peter's Basilica; the pope appeared unhurt and continued calmly on his way to start the Mass late Thursday.
