A Christmas Tradition: Eric Felz

Today Eric Felz shares his family’s Christmas tradition with us.
Our Christmas tradition was to go to the candlelight mass on Christmas Eve. Many Catholic churches have a midnight mass on Christmas Eve, but our church had a couple of masses. The candlelight one wasn’t always at midnight, but we made a point to go to the candlelight mass. There was just something about the the warm glow of the candles and the beautiful music that made this tradition special. Oh the music was wonderful. The choir sang, and their voices were angelic. The organ, which I really only heard at church and baseball games, also played. The whole experience was what people envision when they think of Christmas.
The candlelight mass was a truly reverant experience. I treasure the memories of being in church with my family on Christmas Eve.
