It is a Redemptorist tradition to commemorate the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ on the 25th of every month. This tradition is known as the Little Christmas.
The image of our infant Saviour is venerated at the foot of the altar on which He is daily sacrificed for our sins.
What a lovely Christ Child and what a lovely tradition. I am extremely fond of Christmas, having been born within 12th Night, on my parents' first wedding anniversary. My earliest memories are of the crib and tree, etc.
