Those holding tickets to the historic Papal Mass in Abu Dhabi on

"The announcement is being made as part of a commitment to
grant employees in the private sector the opportunity to take part in the
event. The holiday for ticket-holders underlines the UAE's commitment to
acceptance and open-mindedness during the Year of Tolerance, and its ongoing
dedication to facilitating interfaith dialogue," the ministry said in a
statement. In what is said to be the biggest gathering in the UAE, over
135,000 people are expected to flock to the Zayed Sports City to be part of
Pope Francis' mass.
