24 Christmas is such an important event that the Church extends this great day by a period of several days during which we live in the light of the feast: this is called the Christmas season. White, always white The Christmas season begins with the vigil of the Nativity of the Lord, on the night of December 24. It ends in early January with the feast of the Baptism of the Lord, just after the Epiphany. The Epiphany recalls the visit of the Magi to Bethlehem. The following Sunday, taking a great leap forward in the life of Jesus, we celebrate his baptism in the Jordan River at the age of thirty. During the Christmas season, the priest who celebrates Mass continues to wear a white chasuble, a symbol of celebration and joy in the Catholic liturgy. CHRISTMASTIME Christmastime
