Most Christian denominations, including the Catholic church, consider Christmas to be among the holiest days of the year, and Christmas Eve services are regularly among the most attended of the year.

Beck, however, claimed that Jesus would not want Christians who are not vaccinated to participate in the holiday that was instituted to celebrate his birth…

“I think that what we’re trying to say to people is you have a social responsibility if you do gather… you know, Christian churches, many are gathering this evening. And some are still not requiring vaccination, which I disagree with. I think that part of caring for one another, you know, the dictum of Jesus, who we celebrate his birth, is, ‘Love one another.’ Show compassion. Show mercy to each other. So I think the message is that if we want to act like Jesus in these kind of times, we take care of each other.”
