[Title] => Christmastide starts today with simbang gabi
[Summary] => In the Philippines, Christmastide starts today – December 16 – and ends on the now movable feast of the Three Kings. The Christmas novena is celebrated with the simbang gabi a thoroughly Filipino Christmastide celebration. We say thoroughly Filipino because it is only in the Philippines that Christmastide opens with the nine-day series of night masses. It happened that the novena Masses that preceded Christmas fell during the rice harvest season. The farmers had to be out in the fields by dawn to collect their harvest.
