The Nativity of the Lord (Christmas) Masses with Incense

The liturgies of Christmas make present the mystery of the birth of our Lord, the starting point of our salvation, the beginning of the Paschal Mystery, and the beginning of our never-ending song of joyful praise. We will celebrate this Solemnity With incense at Midnight Mass and 10:00 a.m. Mass on Christmas Day.

While we normally make a profound bow at the words of the Creed, “by the power of the Holy Spirit he was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man”, during the Christmas Masses we reverently go down on one knee at the reality of this awesome mystery.
