[Magdalen] Vigil

[Joseph Cirou]

I bet you can experience that today on Youtube. I watched Midnight Mass and
Christmas Day from Cologne and Munchen (at difference times). One of these
churches is the one where the altar persons where attire similar to canons.
They have big choirs, men's choir for one Mass; mixed (girls and men) for
another .Lots of Caecilian (good Caecilian) Latin sehr Deutsch Ordinaries
etc)
