Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

Proper I, Proper II, Proper III
Years A, B, and C

Note: Any of the three Propers may be used on Christmas Eve/Day. The readings from Propers II and III for Christmas may be used as alternatives for Christmas Day. If Proper III is not used on Christmas Day, it should be used at some service during the Christmas cycle because of the significance of the prologue from John's gospel.
