The greatest solemnities (principal days in the calendar) are so great and joyful that one day is not enough to complete the celebration. At Easter and Christmas, we repeat the celebration for eight consecutive days in what is called an octave. The Christmas Octave ends in another solemnity that echoes the Nativity of the Lord.
