The Christmas season celebrates the mystery of the Incarnation and the manifestation of Jesus Christ to the world: past, present, and future.
The mystery and feast of Christmas (the Nativity of the Lord) is second only to Easter in the liturgical life of the Church. The Christmas season begins after evening prayer on December 25th and continues through the Baptism of the Lord. The first week of the season is the octave of Christmas which closes on the feast of the Mother of God. Some cultures preserve the traditions of “Twelve Days” for the celebration, extending Christmas Day through Epiphany. (from the CCCB)
The Christmas season includes the celebration of several feasts that reflect on various facets of the Christmas event, concluding on January 12 with the Baptism of the Lord:
- December 24 – Christmas Eve
- December 25 – Nativity of the Lord (holy day of obligation)
- December 26 – St. Stephen
- December 31 – Eve of Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God
- January 1 – Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God (holy day of obligation)
- January 5 – Epiphany
- January 12 – Baptism of the Lord (end of the Christmas season)
