During Midnight Mass
Midnight Mass is a church service that varies in starting times. Typically one of the busier events during the year, it is wise to arrive at the church earlier than the scheduled time. The mass usually includes reading from scriptures, music, and the lighting of candles. For religions such as the Roman Catholic Church, communion is also offered during this service.eHow: How to Attend Midnight Mass -
