6th Day In The Octave Of Christmas

The liturgy of the Traditional Latin Mass for the 6th day of Christmas is taken from the 3rd Mass of Christmas, but using the Epistle and Gospel from the 2nd Mass of Christmas.





Introit of the 3rd Mass of Christmas
(Isaias 9. 6)

A Child is born to us, and a Son is given to us: whose government is upon His shoulder: and his name shall be called, the Angel of great counsel.

Gospel of the 2nd Mass of Christmas
(Luke 2. 15-20)

15 And it came to pass, after the angels departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us go over to Bethlehem, and let us see this word that is come to pass, which the Lord hath showed to us.

16 And they came with haste; and they found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger. 17 And seeing, they understood of the word that had been spoken to them concerning this child. 18 And all that heard, wondered; and at those things that were told them by the shepherds. 19 But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God, for all the things they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
