    (continued from previous page)
    On Christmas night all the windows should be lighted with candles in honour of the birth of our Lord.
    The doors all should be left open because it is said that the gates of Heaven are open on that night It is said that the corpse which is burried during the Christmas holidays is sure of Heaven.
