Simbang Gabi which means “Evening or Night Mass”
By
Teacher Joey
It’s a Filipino Christmas tradition. As a devotional practice in the
tradition of the novena, it is a series of nine evening Masses usually
celebrated during Advent from December 16th - 24th, in
preparation for Christmas Day.
The majority of parishes celebrate their first Simbang Gabi Mass
between 4:00 and 5:00 AM. Rural areas sometimes go later, around 5:30 AM. For those unable to rise in those early
morning hours, you’re in luck!
Why are there nine Simbang Gabi Masses?
You see, according to scripture, the Virgin Mother miraculously became pregnant by the Holy Spirit in March before giving birth nine months later in December. Thus the nine Simbang Gabi gatherings represent each month of Mary carrying baby Jesus in anticipation of his holy birth.
Some people say that you have to complete the nine masses. However, in my opinion, you do not have to attend all nine Simbang Gabi masses in a row to gain blessings or satisfy the tradition. The most important thing is setting the intention to take part in Simbang Gabi.

Look, I get it! 4:00 AM alarms before hustling through thick holiday traffic sounds like chaos you’d rather just watch on Facebook, right? But folks, trust me: no amount of glitzy gift displays in the mall can ever replace those lifelong magical shared moments carved out while bleary-eyed under the glowing dawn of Simbang Gabi!
