Midnight Mass or we call it as “Misa De Galeo” in our dialect is a nine-day Novena Mass. It is a part of our religious culture that has started so many years ago. The Mass starts at 4:30 in the morning but in the church in our place, the Mass starts at 4 because the half-hour time is intended for the presentation. About the presentation, it is in a way of drama, choral ensemble, or a song interpretation related to the theme of the church.

The church is always full of the parishioners who want to attend the Mass. However, most people who attend the Mass have a very special purpose of why they were there. It is a belief of many that when you completed the nine days of the Novena Mass, your prayers and the things that you ask to God will be granted.

So with that, I can really say that it depends on the seriousness and constant prayers that a person does. And also, God knows what we need and what’s best for us.
