Christmas is a great opportunity to bring families together, and share the love of God with the children and their families. It is a time for blessing, spiritually and materially.

Christmas brings hope and happiness to the spirits of the Salvadoran people, and in many cases nostalgia, just like any other country that celebrates the birth of Jesus.

Christmas Eve is considered the highlight of Christmas here, and the 25th a happy day of rest afterward. With firecrackers and music, the 24th is a big party starting after work at night. It’s like having two New Year’s Eves. During these holidays, it’s customary to eat “Panes con Pollo,” small French-bread sandwiches, stuffed with chicken cooked in a rich sauce, and veggies, like cucumber, radishes, and a leafy vegetable called “berro”.
