Yeah right , i just asked that , am not the type that does things because everyone is doing it . undecided



What exactly is the significance of cross over night? Is it stated anywhere in the bible ? Apart from the fact that its a time to worship God is there any other spiritual or physical purpose?


I see people run into the church about few minutes to 12 just to enter the next year in the church from all sort of places and it makes me wonder what kind of assurance does it give them?

I need answers ASAP angry


PS: am a beloved child of the most high so no irrelevant quesions.

an inexplicable belief
a sanctimonious culture to garner self assurance and faith for things hoped for
what else do you expect from a generation groomed with superstition....

even the bible itself states...'faith without works is useless'

if its as effective as its religiously practised in this part of the world, one might begin to wonder why its not a daily practise...why wait till night of 31st Dec?

No significance whatsoever except allowing some folks to practice a 10minute spirituality once every year. Enter church by 11:55pm, go back to the club by 12:05am to continue their life as usual.

What are you even crossing over when the Australians already welcomed the new year 10 or 12hrs earlier?

Well stepping into a new year comes with a feeling and personally believe one does not necessary have to be inside a church to usher it in. l quietly watched the fireworks from my balcony, appreciating God for the blessings of the years past.

For me, end of year is a time to take stock. Businesses do it. Other organizations do it. But what better way to take stock of your life than to check in with our Father who gave us the life.

The mass is always very solemn and awesome.

Also, you get share the felicitations with your Church family...a family which is very important to a Catholic.

Another reason a Catholic would do it is that Jan 1 is a 'Holy Day of Obligation' meaning we must go to Church...and many times, attending 31st December Mid night mass suffices for that.

It is not a must...but those are reasons Catholics do it.

I think different people during that period go to d church for different reasons best known to them...
for me i personally believe its another time and opportunity to come together with other believers to worship,pray,praise and Thank God for bringing us into yet another year and committing d new year into his care...
..Though its also possible to do it alone,cos there is no kind of repercussion if you dont attend service during the "cross over"..
....you are at liberty to choose what suits you...but you know dat no one is an island...and it wont hurt to spend at least 20mins with other believers to glorify God for his awesome deeds dat for that year....!
