Will Pope Leo XIV personally appear live for the Christmas Day Urbi et Orbi blessing?

Question

This market will resolve YES if Pope Leo XIV personally appears live and visibly participates in delivering the Christmas Urbi et Orbi blessing on December 25, 2026, according to the Rome calendar. The appearance must form part of the Holy See’s Christmas message and blessing ceremony, rather than a separate Christmas Mass, private audience or unrelated greeting.

A live appearance from the central balcony of Saint Peter’s Basilica qualifies. A different Vatican balcony, window or indoor locatio
