Pope Francis' Apostolic Exhortation 'Evangelii Gaudium', the Joy of the Gospel, was officially presented to the public in Rome.
The Holy Father symbolically handed the document to a bishop, a priest and a deacon, after a mass to mark the end of the Year of Faith in St Peter’s Square on Sunday 24 November 2016.
