I think this fits on this board. I just want to mention again a practice my mother’s family observed each New Year’s Eve. 5-10 minutes before midnight the holy candle would be lit and would burn until 5-10 minutes after midnight. In this way, we were seeing the old year out and the New year in with the light of faith. It added a spiritual dimension to the holiday which I never forgot. I still have the stump of her last candle which I burn alongside my new one.
Happy, Blessed New Year’s to all.
 
That is wonderful mpav. I remember last New Year’s Eve, when it turned midnight I was saying the rosary. I think this time around I will go to a Mass they’re having at a parish nearby. 🙂
