After the annual celebration of the Paschal Mystery, the Church has no more
ancient custom than celebrating the memorial of the Nativity of the Lord and of his first manifestations, and this takes place in Christmas Time

The Vigil Mass of the Nativity is used on the evening of 24 December, either before or after First Vespers (Evening Prayer I). On the day of the nativity of the lord, following ancient roman tradition, Mass may be celebrated three times, that is, in the night, at dawn and during the day

The Sunday falling after 6 January is the feast of the Baptism of the lord.

Other feasts within Christmastime are the celebration of the Holy Family and Epiphany.

The celebration of the birth of Christ, of God with us, is announced in the scriptures.

We hear how God loved us so much that he gave his only Son to dwell among us and show us how to live.

The Savior of the world came to bring peace, freedom to the oppressed, healing all division and pain.

The Sunday falling between 2 January and 5 January is the second Sunday after the nativity.
The epiphany of the lord is celebrated on 6 January, unless, where it is not observed as a holyday of obligation, it has been assigned to the Sunday occurring between 2 and 8 January.
