SIMBANG GABI HISTORY
The “Simbang Gabi” is a long treasured Philippine t
radition originally a series of “dawn masses” for n
ine
consecutive days before Christmas Day. Its liturgi
cal significance emanates from the Season of Advent
,
being the time of spiritual preparation and purific
ation to worthily welcome and receive the Child Jes
us in
our midst. The Mass at Dawn, Simbang Gabi, is a ni
ne-day novena to the Blessed Mother. It starts ever
y
December 16th and is one of the longest and most im
portant religious celebrations in the Philippines t
hat
has lasted over 600 years.
The Simbang Gabi is a time when Catholic churches a
cross the Philippines celebrate mass outdoors in or
der
to accommodate the faithful. At times, when mass is
not celebrated outside, the doors of churches are,
nevertheless, left wide open to allow attendants to
share in the atmosphere of the mass. Its origins b
egan in
Mexico, where the practice of holding mass outdoors
began, first, in 1587, when the Pope gave permissi
on
to Diego de Soria, a Mexican friar, to hold mass ou
tdoors because the churches could not accommodate t
he
huge number of worshipers that came to celebrate Ch
ristmas.
The novena culminates, on the ninth day, with the M
ass of the Gifts, or Misa de Gallo, which celebrate
s the
birth of Jesus. However, it was not until 1669, during the early years of Christianity, in the Philip
pines, that
the Misa de Gallo became a Philippine spiritual tradition. During Advent, in preparation for the birth
of
Christ, missionary friars held pre-dawn masses for
nine consecutive days, to usher in the event of Jesus'
birth. The masses were celebrated very early, usually at 4 in the morning, since they took place during the
harvest season, when farmers had to be in the field
s at the crack of dawn. The word gallo means rooster, in
Spanish. At the first sound of dawn, at the crowing
of the rooster, the entire family would get up and
walkto the nearest parish church.
During this time, colorful lanterns are hung in eve
ry door, window, tree branch, and street corner. Bands
play native carols all across town while families,
couples, and individuals make their way to the near
est
church. Shortly after the mass, people gather in their homes to celebrate Noche Buena and feast on local
delicacies made of rice flour, coconut milk and other traditional deserts.
Here in the United States, Filipino immigrants brought with them this distinct tradition which is slow
ly
taking roots and thus the observance of this time h
onored spiritual and cultural tradition has grown
significantly in California, New York, Chicago, New
Jersey and even in the Hampton Roads to the point
where it has now earned a strong and unequivocal support.
Halina Hesus, Halina!
