Denver, Colorado, 25 de dezembro de 2025 \/ 15:00 (CNA).<\/p>\n

O calend\u00e1rio cat\u00f3lico tem v\u00e1rias formas de dividir o tempo do Natal. A tradi\u00e7\u00e3o lit\u00fargica ocidental da Igreja v\u00ea o Natal como uma octave<\/a>, uma celebra\u00e7\u00e3o de oito dias do nascimento de Jesus Cristo.<\/p>\n

A oitava do Natal come\u00e7a no pr\u00f3prio Natal, a festa da Natividade do Senhor<\/a>. Termina na solenidade de Maria, M\u00e3e de Deus, em 1 de janeiro, que nesta temporada cai numa quinta-feira no novo ano de 2026.<\/p>\n

O drama deste per\u00edodo do calend\u00e1rio lit\u00fargico cat\u00f3lico inclui at\u00e9 mudan\u00e7as nas vestes lit\u00fargicas do clero.<\/p>\n

Durante estes oito dias de Natal, o clero usa branco durante a Missa.<\/p>\n

Mas h\u00e1 exce\u00e7\u00f5es em que o clero usa vermelho, o s\u00edmbolo do mart\u00edrio: a festa de Santo Est\u00eav\u00e3o<\/a>, 26 de dezembro, e a festa dos Santos Inocentes<\/a>, Dec. 28. <\/p>\n

Como relata o Livro dos Atos, Santo Est\u00eav\u00e3o foi um di\u00e1cono que foi o primeiro m\u00e1rtir ap\u00f3s a ressurrei\u00e7\u00e3o de Jesus. Ele foi morto por pregar Cristo como o cumprimento do Antigo Testamento. Uma das testemunhas da sua morte foi um homem chamado Saulo, o futuro S\u00e3o Paulo.<\/p>\n

Os Santos Inocentes tamb\u00e9m s\u00e3o considerados m\u00e1rtires. Eles morreram no lugar de Jesus quando Herodes procurou matar todos os meninos com menos de 2 anos de idade.<\/p>\n

Em 27 de dezembro, a Igreja celebra a festa de S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o Ap\u00f3stolo<\/a>, o \u201cdisc\u00edpulo amado\u201d de Jesus. Jo\u00e3o foi um grande evangelista e creditado como autor do Evangelho de Jo\u00e3o e de tr\u00eas cartas do Novo Testamento. Muitos creditam-lhe a autoria do Livro do Apocalipse.<\/p>\n

A festa da Sagrada Fam\u00edlia continua a hist\u00f3ria de Jesus, Maria e Jos\u00e9 com a fuga para o Egito. Geralmente cai no domingo ap\u00f3s o Natal. <\/p>\n

O solenidade de Maria, M\u00e3e de Deus<\/a>, olha para o papel de Maria na encarna\u00e7\u00e3o de Jesus Cristo. Ela \u00e9 a \u201cTheotokos\u201d, literalmente a M\u00e3e de Deus. Ela n\u00e3o carrega simplesmente a natureza humana de Jesus, nem \u00e9 um vaso apenas para a sua divindade. Como as naturezas divina e humana de Jesus est\u00e3o unidas, ela \u00e9 verdadeiramente a M\u00e3e de Deus.<\/p>\n

A oitava do Natal \u00e9 quando muitas pessoas t\u00eam tempo para descansar de um ano agitado e passar tempo com a fam\u00edlia. Uma forma adequada de observar a oitava \u00e9 assistir \u00e0 Missa di\u00e1ria e refletir em ora\u00e7\u00e3o sobre as leituras da Missa.<\/p>\n

Esta hist\u00f3ria foi publicada pela primeira vez em 25 de dezembro de 2022 e foi atualizada.<\/em> <\/p>\n
