Pope Benedict XVI Knocked Down by a Woman at 2009 Christmas Eve

Pope Benect XVI yesterday night when he was on regular procession towards the basilica altar for conducting traditional mass of the Christmas eve, he was caught up by unusual event when a woman emerges near him and through quick events left the Pope Benedict on the floor. He was not hurt on this little fracas, but for sure he must have been shocked from the incidence.
The following are series of photos as taken by Vatican video.

The woman in red vaulting the wooden barrier cordoned off the basilica's main aisle

The clergy puzzled by the very fast event behind them leaving the Pontiff down, the guards in black suit rushing back to rescue the situation

It's Christmas 2009

Photo above: Mdau Paused before Santa Klaus portrait at entrance of Kigali's Nakumatt Supermarket before shopping yesterday.

Last minutes shopping one day before Christmas was hectic here in Rwanda.

So many people gathered in big super markets and shops. Queueing was a new phenomena here, as many people usually celebrate more for new year than Christmas.

Because of increasing number of foreigners especially in Kigali city, there is an abrupt rise of Christmas celebrations, this means shopping at Christmas has been increasing steadily for the past few years.

I take this glorious time to wish you all the happiest Christmas
