Masses at dawn in anticipation of Christmas

We had this done last year, the FSSP priest does it (Waterford, Ireland). We are so blessed to have the FSSP in our diocese and a bishop who supports them, I feel like we won the spiritual lottery!

 

For a colleague from the forum @Whatever who asked me about the length of winter...
This is what the city center looks like now that it has snowed, the city has about 30,000 inhabitants. The picture shows the Cathedral of Saint Teresa of Avila, but I'm going to the Church of St. Antuna, about 400 m from this one, there are two more.


Since corona, we have Masses outside the Church, at least the two most visited Sundays and all feasts. Outside this morning at dawn mass, it was -2 degrees, about 300 people at least outside, with the fact that it was crowded inside.

Enjoy the pictures of winter (By the way, I can't find where the pictures are reduced, sorry they are this big, it's not on purpose).

 

Thanks for this thread and these lovely photos.

 

So lovely. Any of the photos could be on a Christmas card. Thank you for sharing them. It was wet and windy here today although not too cold. I love to look out at snow but I hate when the roads and footpaths are slippery. We don't get much snow here and it usually melts within a couple of days.
