After Christmas, the baby in the manger matures very fast. He becomes the suffering adult, Nazareno de Quiapo, feted on January 9, then morphs into the cute toddler in heavy clothes, Santo Niño, celebrated in Cebu, Tondo, Pandacan, mendiola, Aklan and elsewhere on the Third Sunday of January.

Thanks to the Lucas Family of Malabon, I am able to hear mass at San Agustin on January 1, the Solemnity of Mary Mother of God, formerly the Feast of the Circumcision of Our Lord in the old Catholic calendar.
