“More than being an inherited custom and a cherished tradition, the ‘Simbang Gabi’ is both an act of sacrifice and sharing which we do for the love of God and our neighbor,” a Catholic Church leader said as the faithful begins the observance of the traditional nine-day Misa de Aguinaldo Christmas masses today.

Hundreds of churchgoers flock to the Las Pinas Bamboo Organ for the first night of the Simbang Gabi.

“The CBCP-ECMI sends its executive secretary Rev. Fr. Resty Ogsimer to the Gulf regions to help and assist our Filipino chaplains there for the ‘Simbang Gabi’ holy masses that are held in our chaplaincies in Kuwait, in Manama and Awali, Bahrain, as well as in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Al Ain and Tas Al Khaiman in UAE and in Doha, Qatar,” Santos said.

Considered one of the oldest but well observed Christmas traditions in the Philippines, church bells will peal before the break of dawn for the duration of the ‘Simbang Gabi’ which are held at 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. with the final mass, the Misa de Gallo on Dec. 24, Christmas Eve, traditionally held shortly before midnight.
