The traditional Simbang Gabi or dawn Mass starts today, ushering the nine-day novena that leads to Christmas Day. 


In predominantly Catholic Philippines, the nine-day dawn Masses send the faithful from the warmth of their homes, braving the cool December wind,  to affirm their faith at Mass.


Dawn Masses are also called misa de gallo, because they are celebrated as the cock crows at the crack of dawn.
