Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve is the name of a service that is celebrated in the Protestant church on the late evening of December 24th. After the big Christmas Eve services for children and families (see: Christvesper ), this is a more meditative service to end the day, often with a special church music design. It has the following texts:
- Psalm: Ps 96 : 1–3.7–13 LUT
- Reading from the Old Testament: Zech 2 : 14-17 LUT
- Epistle: 1 Tim 3,16 LUT
- Gospel: Lk 2,1-20 LUT
The celebration of Christmas Eve corresponds to the Catholic Christmas mass , but has no prominent position compared to the Christmas Vespers and the service on the morning of December 25th ( Christmas Festival I).
