Misa de Gallo
Misa del Gallo (Spanish for "rooster's mass", also ''Misa de los Pastores'', "shepherd's mass;" Portuguese: ''Missa do Galo'') is the Roman Catholic name for the Mass celebrated around midnight of Christmas Eve.
==History==
The tradition of midnight mass on Christmas Eve was first chronicled by Egeria, the Galician woman who went on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land around 381–384. She witnessed how the early Christians of Jerusalem honored the Christmas mystery with a midnight vigil at Bethlehem.〔“A Zenith Daily Dispatch: 3 Masses on Christmas.” EWTN. http://www.ewtn.com/library/liturgy/zlitur156.htm Retrieved 2 June 2013〕 This was followed by a torchlight procession to Jerusalem, arriving at the Church of the Resurrection at dawn.
Half a century later, Pope Sixtus III, inspired by the midnight vigil, instituted the practice of a midnight mass after the cockcrow in the grotto-like oratory of the famed Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. There are discrepancies, however, with the exact time of the cockcrow due to the fact that the ancient Romans set it at the start of the day.
In 1587, the head monk from the Convent of San Agustin Acolman, San Diego de Soria, petitioned the Pope to allow holding the mass outdoors because the church could not accommodate the large number of attendees at the evening celebration.〔“Going to Mass at Christmas.” Filipinas Heritage Library. http://www.filipinaslibrary.org.ph/news/40-filipiniana/112-going-to-mass-at-christmas Retrieved 2 June 2013〕
