in Catholic Church.

On Christmas day, against the rule
which prevails every other day in the
gear, priests are obliged to celebrate
three masses. The Roman ordines
show that the popes used on this
feast day three masses-the first in
the Iiberian basiiica. the second in
the Church of st. Anastasia, whose
memory is celebrated on the same
day December 20, and the third in the
Vatican church.
Id other places, particularly in
France. the same priest used to say
two masses on Christmas day. When
the Orman ordo was received in
France by the command of Charlie
magne the Roman custom of saying
three masses was introduced in
France also. 1t is now customary
throughout the entire Catholic church
to say three masses on this feast.
In Rome one Of the three masses
was for the feast Of st. Anastasia,
which fell on the day, and the same
Roman custom spread throughout the
west.
Those three masses, however, were
also said, not altogether, but at con-
siderable intervals, viz: At midnight,
dawn and in the day time-a custom
still observed in cathedral and coll
legiate churches. A mystical expla-
nat@on of the three masses is given,
and they are supposed to figure the
three births of our Lord, namely, of
His Father before all ages, of the
blessed Virgin and i'll the hearts of
the faithful.
