Christmas in China and Macau

Zhuhai
The Catholic population of Zhuhai, China certainly had a special celebration of Christmas this time. For the first time, they had a Christmas Mass celebrated in their neighbourhood by three Chinese priests and participated by a good gathering of the faithful. Since the community do not have a place to gather together, they chose the parking area of a housing sector for the Mass. The celebration was held with the prior permission from the authorities. Here are a couple of visuals of the celebrations.
Macau
In Macau, the Christmas preparations began with the nine-days novena - Mass at 5 am from 16 to 24 of December. Frs. John Ledesma and Alberto took turns to celebrate the Mass, basically for the Philippino Catholics.
