Simbang Gabi 2024
Simbang Gabi is a Filipino Christmas tradition that involves nine days of early morning or midnight masses leading up to Christmas:
- What it is Simbang Gabi is a series of nine masses that take place in the Philippines before Christmas. The name translates to “Night Mass” in Tagalog.
- During Simbang Gabi, people attend mass, bring offerings of fruit, eggs, and rice to the altar, and make colorful lanterns to light their way. After mass, people share food and fellowship in a time called “Noche Buena”.
- Simbang Gabi is a time of spiritual preparation for Christmas and a way to ask for blessings from the Lord. Some believe that completing the entire series of masses will grant wishes.
