In the Philippines, one tradition that clearly marks or symbolizes Christmas is the ‘Simbang Gabi’. The literal translation of Simbang Gabi is “Night Mass”. Catholic Filipinos attend mass for nine straight days. These masses are held at the break of dawn, with some service as early as 4 AM.

Later on the churches adjusted the service schedule to early dawn, this is to accommodate the countless natives who needs to sleep early and wake up early to tend to the farms.
