“Simbang Gabi, simula ng Pasko sa puso ng lahing Pilipino,” thus goes a favorite carol, which resonates the joyous experience of Christmas in our country.
Indeed, we greet each other “Merry Christmas.” Not ““Happy Holidays.” For with Simbang Gabi, it is back to the Church where we look for and find the true spirit of Christmas: the baby Jesus who was born in a manger. Everything else is just to help remind us of that inexplicable great mystery of God who became Man, like each one of us.
