Illumination of the facade of the Nativity
The facade of the Nativity is the only one that began to be built when Antoni Gaudí still alive. This facade symbolizes the joy for the birth of Jesus but also the illusion and the joy of living. During the action the different sculptural groups of the facade are illuminated, and with a background music, the different scenes of the arrival of the son of God are narrated, explaining the symbology of each of them. The facade is illuminated four times a day. The act is free, but there is limited capacity. At the end of the event, there will be hot chocolate for the attendees.
Days: December 19, 20, 21 and 22
Time: 7:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
Start of lighting cycles: 7:00 p.m., 7:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. On the 21st, only one session at 7:00 p.m.

Christmas Eve Mass at Sagrada Familia
Since my husband and I can not travel to Spain this year, we would like to know if the Christmas Eve Mass at Sagrada Familia is video recorded or streamed live; and how we might view it from the United States. Any information on this is appreciated.
Com que el meu marit i jo no podem viatjar a Espanya aquest any, ens agradaria saber si la missa de Nit de Nadal a la Sagrada Família està gravada en vídeo o en directe; i com ho podríem veure des dels Estats Units. Qualsevol informació sobre això és apreciada.
Christmas Eve Mass at Sagrada Familia
Hello Sarah,
There is a mass in the morning on Christmas Day at the Sagrada Familia, but not the day before. Usually only some of the Masses considered extraordinary are broadcast and it is indicated on the Mass calendar. Here is the link to access the mass calendar. If a mass is broadcast in streaming, it has to be indicated there.
Greetings and merry christmas!
