 Dolly Parton returns to public eye to celebrate opening day at Dollywood     Dolly Parton made her first public appearance in months to celebrate the opening day of Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, on Friday.

 Pope opens 2026 with plea for peace in war-torn nations and families scarred by violence

 Pope Leo XIV began 2026 on Thursday with an urgent call for peace, highlighting countries torn by war and families suffering from violence.

He celebrated New Year’s Day Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica before delivering a noon prayer from his studio overlooking the piazza, where pilgrims and tourists gathered on a bright, chilly morning. Marking the church’s World Day of Peace, Leo urged the faithful to unite in prayer. “Let us all pray together for peace: first, among nations bloodied by conflict and suffering, but also within our homes, in families wounded by violence or pain,” he said.

Following the busy Christmas season, the pope will take a few days of rest before leading celebrations for the Epiphany on Jan. 6, which will also mark the official close of the 2025 Holy Year—a once-in-a-quarter-century event that drew millions of pilgrims to Rome. Immediately afterward, Leo will preside over a two-day gathering of the College of Cardinals, including those over 80 who did not participate in the conclave. The meeting revives a practice largely avoided by Pope Francis, bringing cardinals together periodically to offer guidance on managing the affairs of the 1.4 billion-member Catholic Church.
