 Name of Jesus
The observance of the octave (eighth day) of Christmas has roots in the sixth century.  This day recalls what the angel said to Joseph about Mary, the mother of our Lord: “She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”  Baptized into this saving grace, the church begins a new year in Jesus’ name.
