amusement that have

first liturgy of Christmastide
that is celebrated on the night
of Christmas Eve, traditionally
beginning at midnight when
Christmas Eve gives way to
Christmas Day

our place some of them
attending mass because their
was a food to serve after. But
the others are attending whole
heartedly, and believing of the
saying that if you complete
attending night mass in 10
night your wish and prayed for
were come true.
DON’T SWEEP THE FLOOR

 -If relatives sweep the floor, it

can be interpreted as
banishing the spirit of the
dead from the hose. It may
also result in other family
members following the dead
into the afterlife. Family
members can pick trash up
and wipe the floor with a wet
cloth.

culture to sweep the floor
during burial of the dead
person because it also give a
bad luck of the family and
gives many bad incident in
the future.

of showing respect is
through hand gesture
called “mano po”.
