The video of a young man flexing his ‘Simbang Gabi’ outfit resurfaced online and elicited various reactions from the internet users.
Every December in the Philippines, a joyful tradition known as “Simbang Gabi” takes center stage. This nine-day novena Mass celebration holds a special place in the hearts of Filipinos, marking the anticipation of Christmas.
Simbang Gabi or night mass, is a series of dawn masses held from December 16 to 24. It is a significant religious tradition observed by Filipino Catholics as a way to honor the Virgin Mary and prepare for the birth of Jesus Christ on Christmas Day.
The masses are typically held as early as 4:00 AM and serve as a spiritual journey, devotion, and unity within the community. Attending all nine days of Simbang Gabi masses is believed to grant special requests and blessings.
The tradition of Simbang Gabi dates back to the Spanish colonial period when the friars introduced the concept of dawn masses to allow farmers to attend before heading to the fields.
Many churches are adorned with vibrant Christmas decorations, and the air is filled with the sweet scent of traditional Filipino Christmas delicacies.
Filipinos often dress in their best attire, sporting festive clothing to honor the occasion. It’s a time for families and communities to come together, sharing the joy of the season.
Recently, the Facebook page “ato ni bay” shared a video clip of two young men flexing their ‘Simbang Gabi’ outfit. The entertaining video spread like wildfire on social media and garnered comments from the netizens.
In the video, the young man invited the viewers to attend Simbang Gabi while bragging about his outfit. He is wearing a gray long sleeve, loose short, a cap, white socks, and sandals describing it as “Napakaangas.”
