Simbang Gabi

Simbang Gabi

SIMBANG GABI or Mass at Dawn is one of the longest and most popular among the Filipino traditions in the country. It is a nine-day novena to the Blessed Mother. The novena begins December 16 as early as 4 in the morning and culminates with the “Misa de Gallo” on Christmas Eve to welcome the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.
Tomorrow would be the 9th day of simbang gabi. It would also be my 9th day to attend it. If i will be able to wake up early and attend the mass at 4am, i would definitely complete the tradition of the nine-day novena. They say that if you would be able to complete the nine days, your wish/wishes will be granted. Hope my wish would also be granted at His will. :) Merry Christmas to all! :)
