Midnight Mass is known as the Angels’ Mass. Tradition says Jesus was born at midnight in a manger in Bethlehem, so the late night Mass is celebrated by the church to honor the hour Jesus was born.
The darkness of the hour is also reflective of the spiritual darkness of the time, as the birth of the promised Messiah was anticipated. That spiritual darkness carries over even today, as during Advent we await the radiance of the baby Jesus.
According to tradition, celebrating Midnight Mass began in the East. By the year 430 celebrating the midnight vigil had reached the West, with Pope Sixtus III celebrating Mass in the Basilica of St. Mary Major.
