  • Christmas:

    The Four Masses of Christmas
    Christmas is more than a day. It is a season, and the holy season begins at sundown on Christmas Eve. The first day of Christmas —the ”solemnity of the Nativity of the Lord”—is kept with special observance at sunset, midnight, dawn and noonday. That’s why there are four different Masses for the four turning-points of the day. Each Mass sparkles with a facet of the jewel-like mystery of the birth of Christ.
