CHRISTMAS VIGIL
December 24
The Christmas Vigil, also known as the Christmas Eve Vigil, is a special religious service held on the evening of December 24th. This vigil marks the beginning of the Christmas celebrations and commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ. It is a time for the faithful to gather in anticipation of the joyous event, often featuring a solemn Mass, readings from the Scriptures, hymns, and prayers. Many churches also include a nativity play or a reenactment of the Christmas story.
