The first mass of Christmas is the Midnight Mass or the Angel’s Mass. This Mass celebrates, traditionally, the hour that Christ was born, and has a very long history. The Gospel in this mass comes from Luke 2: 1-14. It centres around the announcement of the angels, in glory, to the shepherds in the field, and is a very joyful mass. The darkness of midnight is meant to be a symbolic reminder of the lack of true light in humanity before Jesus was born.
Join us at St. Luke’s at 11:30pm for this beautiful mass.
