“Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,”
Matthew 1: 23

Christmas Eve ~ Sunday, December 24th

"The Christmas season begins on Christmas day, December 25, which is known as the Solemnity of the Nativity of the Lord. The season celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. It ends with the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord and includes other important feasts.

During Christmas, we celebrate in a special way that God is with us today, now, and forever. The entire season rejoices in the Incarnation, the truth that the Son of God became man. People all over the world celebrate Christmas and the feasts of the Christmas season, including the feasts of the Holy Family and Epiphany, with special traditions and customs. Though they may be different, all are reminders that Jesus is the Light of the World.

During the Christmas season, we hear the account of the birth of Jesus in the Gospels and we hear Jesus called by the name Emmanuel, which means “God with Us.” We pray and sing with great joy.

The Christmas season is a time to rejoice and celebrate that God is with us."
