Simbang Gabi delivers a festivity of celebration preparing for the coming of a newborn child.  Preparations and Christmas festivities manifest the family and culture of season and grace.

As a novena of nine consecutive days of expectation of the new born child, we turn at a gaze to the Virgin who in her consent to the Creator of the Universe, God would become a baby.

Lowly and Divine.

Born of a Virgin.
