12-25 - Christmas¶
The Nativity of the Lord.
Overview¶
Roman Rite Solemn Mass, with:
- An optional [[Sequence]] before the [[Alleluia]]2, a Dominican Custom.
- At the [[Credo]], instead of making a Profound Bow, Genuflect1.
- For this great [[Solemnity]], two additional Torch bearers may be used for the Eucharistic Prayer.
This is one of three weekday solemnities that are celebrated at the Crossing Altar, the others being Candlemas and Ash Wednesday.
