Do you usually go to Midnight Mass?
Or have you ever been there?

I have. And it is fine and solemn.

Do you usually go to Midnight Mass?

Always. That is when the Sun is on the opposite side of the Earth and the stream of solar neutrinos is at their lowest.

Mind you, it is always midnight somewhere.

but not always Christmas

but not always Christmas

What is Christmas really? It is based on a pagan holiday worshiping a tree centered on the loose assumption that Christ's actual birth was sometime between the Fall and the Spring.

And how do we celebrate the most spiritual event of Christ's birth? By encouraging millions to buy an expensive new car or diamond ring for the wife and toys for the children.

we know about Christmas.

Not being religious, no. However, in today's environment and the massive growth of Islam in the west, including the USA, I would suggest a couple of armed people at the entrance to churches.

do only Catholics know Midnight Mass?

do only Catholics know Midnight Mass?

Only Catholics have masses of any type at all, not just Midnight Masses. Baptists, Pentecostals, Mormons, Jews- the idea of a mass period is just foreign to those faiths.

do others have midnight church services?
