The joy of Christmas!
December 29, 2023
While many people consider Christmas over on the night of Dec. 25, Catholics know that the liturgical season of Christmas begins with the vigil Masses on Christmas Eve and concludes on the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, which in 2024 falls on Jan. 8.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops tells us: “During this season, we celebrate the birth of Christ into our world and into our hearts and reflect on the gift of salvation that is born with him, including the fact that he was born to die for us.”
As we continue to celebrate Christmas, please enjoy some festive photos from across the Archdiocese of Omaha.
