What's so Catholic about Christmas?

The Church's celebration of Christmas isn't just for a day (or even twelve) but starts with the joyful waiting of Advent and lasts until the feast of the Baptism of the Lord. Fascinating stories of some favorite saints--such as Nicholas, Lucy, and Stephen--make their legends come alive, while the history and lore surrounding some of our most popular feasts--such as the Epiphany and the Immaculate Conception--will help you understand the importance of keeping the Mass in Christmas.
