Went to midnight mass last night, Christmas eve - it actually begins at Midnight, so it is really Christmas day. You pick up a candle when you enter the church, and after most of the service is over, altar boys come down the aisle and light the candles of people sitting on the aisle, and they they light the candles of people in their rows, until all the church is illuminated by the small candles everyone is holding. It is an impressive thing to see, and a beautiful experience to be part of.
