	SIMBANG GABI

SIMBANG GABI Simbang Gabi is a deep rooted Philippine tradition since the Spanish colonial days intended to allow farmers to attend mass since their obligation to planting rice has first priority. This religious practice that was handed down from parent to child, observed by Filipinos from one generation to the next is very much engrained in our culture. The agricultural roots of "Misa de Gallo" or "Simbang Gabi" are all but forgotten now, but the “parol” displayed in most household and the nativity scene are still a common fixture. Today we not only celebrate to intensify our faith but also strengthen relationships among family members and the community as a whole specially because we are all living abroad. We invite everyone to participate in this beautiful Filipino tradition, the spiritual preparation for Christmas the Birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.
