On September 6, approximately 400 people participated in the celebration of Holy Mass and the blessing of the Nativity scene at the seat of the Heralds of the Gospel in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul - Brazil.

Holy Mass was presided over by Bishop Dimas Lara Barbosa, Metropolitan Archbishop of Campo Grande.

The celebration brought participants together in a moment of prayer and devotion, followed by the blessing of the Nativity scene, which symbolizes the preparation for the celebration of Christmas.

Contemplating the Mystery of Christmas

The Nativity scene holds a special place in Christian tradition as it depicts the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ and invites the faithful to contemplate the mystery of the Incarnation.

At the seat of the Heralds of the Gospel, participants were able to visit the Nativity scene after the celebration and contemplate the scenes commemorating the birth of the Baby Jesus.
