Father Ricardo Reyes Castillo, expert in Liturgy and author of the book What is the Mass?where he explains the true meaning of the Eucharistic Celebration, tells ACI Prensa the importance of the four Masses that are celebrated at Christmas.
To commemorate the birth of Jesus there are four masses and in all of them the Mystery of Christmas is presented from different angles and using different biblical texts, from the eve of the Solemnity to the one that properly corresponds to the party.
The priest of Panamanian origin emphasizes that everything begins with a great movement that goes from the “Vigil Mass”, where the genealogy of the Lord is read, to the “Night Mass” in which the shepherds’ announcement is heard. , later that of “the dawn” in which the shepherds go to see the Virgin Mary and finally in the “Mass of the day” “the beginning of the Gospel of Saint John” is proclaimed.
