Traditionally the masses are held daily from December 16–24\, and occur at different times\, even as early as 4:00am! It is a time of great celebration; singing of native carols\, adorning your homes with colorful lanterns/decorations\, and feasting.   \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The original Simbang Gabi was called the “Misa de Aurea” (Golden Mass) or the “Angel’s Mass.” In 1587\, Fray Diego Soria\, prior of the San Augustin Convent\, petitioned the Pope for permission to hold Christmastide Masses outdoors because the church could not accommodate the multitude that attended the services. The request was granted through a rescript and in the 17th Century\, the Misa de Aguinaldo or the Misa de Gallo\, or Simbang Gabi became a Filipino spiritual tradition. Vatican II encouraged the church in the Philippines to continue the tradition and uphold its significant role in the life of the people. \nFilipino Americans brought Simbang Gabi to the United States and found it to be an effective way to stay connected to their faith. It expresses who they are as a Filipino people\, and enables them to share their God-given gifts with the wider Church in the United States. Simbang Gabi draws on the leadership of the Filipino Catholics in the parishes to carry out these special gatherings and to share their religious tradition and culture with the whole parish family. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n THE PAROL\n \nA Parol is a star-shaped lantern displayed in homes in the Philippines\, meant to serve as a guiding light and sign for Mary and Joseph and more importantly\, Jesus\, to come into the home\, as the family is ready for them. It is also used as a part of the processional entrance for Mass to remind us that Jesusis the Light of the World bringing life and light to all who accept Him. \nThe presence of the star reminds us of God’s presence among us and that Jesus is Emmanuel!
