St. Andrew Christmas Novena
The St. Andrew Christmas Novena, also known as the Christmas Anticipation Prayer, is a cherished devotion that begins on November 30, the Feast of St. Andrew the Apostle, and continues until Christmas Eve. This prayer prepares the heart to welcome the Savior with love and reverence, recalling the mystery of the Incarnation. Through St. Andrew’s intercession, this devotion seeks deeper faith, joyful hope, and a spirit of humble adoration for the coming of Christ our Lord.
Nine days of prayer begin on November 30, leading to Christmas Eve on December 24.
