| Filipino decorations for the Christmas Novena |
Simbang Gabi’ starts today. The traditional ‘Simbang Gabi’, or the nine-day Christmas novena Mass, starts at dawn all over the Philippines.
In other areas, it started last night with the anticipated ‘Simbang Gabi’ Mass but for most Filipinos, the real ‘Simbang Gabi’ tradition can only be experienced at dawn.
Catholics elsewhere prepare spiritually for the nine days before Christmas, beginning either on December 15 or 16th.
