AHEAD of the celebration of Christmas Day, the Manila Cathedral in Intramuros is inviting the faithful to have their images of the child Jesus blessed on Sunday, December 22, 2024. 

In a social media post, the Manila Cathedral announced that it will hold the “Bambinelli Blessing” after every Mass tomorrow.

“The faithful are invited to bring the Baby Jesus figurines from their Nativity scenes to be blessed after the Mass,” said the Manila Cathedral.

It is important to note that this tradition invites the faithful to bring the Baby Jesus figurines from their home Nativity sets to the church for a special blessing.

The “Bambinelli Blessing” takes place in the midst of the ongoing “Simbang Gabi” Masses, which are also part of the preparations for Christmas Day. (HDT/SunStar Philippines)
