'Tis the season of Christmas in the Roman Catholic church now. Merry Christmas! From yesterday until January 9th the Christmas decorations will grace the church and the priests' vestments will be white or gold- the colors of celebration- with occasional forays into red for martyrs' feast days such as today, the feast of St. Stephen, the Church's first martyr (read all about it in Acts 6:8 through Acts 7:60 ) and December 28th the Feast of the Holy Innocents.
So while in the secular world Christmas is over and done with, in the world of the Church- it's just beginning!
