misteri kelahiran Tuhan. Puncak dari perayaan Natal adalah 25 Desember, banyak&#13;
kegiatan yang dilakukan untuk menyambut dan merayakan hari raya natal. Umat&#13;
selalu antusias saat natal dengan mengikuti perayaan di Gereja, berbeda jika hari&#13;
minggu biasa Gereja tidak seramai saat natal. Lingkungan Santo Markus, Sambi&#13;
Barat, Paroki Santo Hilarius, Klepu memiliki kegiatan dan tradisi yang masih&#13;
dilakukan sampai sekarang ini untuk merayakan Natal. Berdasarkan apa yang&#13;
dilakukan oleh umat Sambi Barat sampai sekarang ini, bagaimana pemahaman&#13;

natal, saat natal, dan setalah natal dengan kegiatan yang sejalan dengan lima tugas&#13;
gereja yakni pewartaan, persekutuan, peribadatan, kesaksian, dan pelayanan. Buah&#13;
dari natal yang umat Santo Markus rasakan adalah kebersamaan berkumpul dengan&#13;

ABSTRACT&#13;
&#13;
Laurensia: “The Understanding and Internalization of the Meaning of the&#13;
Christmas Celebration by the Community of Saint Mark Basic Ecclesial&#13;
Community, Sambi Barat, Saint Hilarius Parish, Klepu”&#13;
The Nativity Cycle is one of the liturgical cycles celebrating the mystery of&#13;
Christ, specifically characterized by the mystery of the Lord's coming. This cycle&#13;
consists of the Advent Season, as the anticipation of the Lord's arrival, and the&#13;
Christmas Season, as the celebration of the mystery of the Lord's birth. The&#13;
culmination of the Christmas celebration is December 25th, marked by numerous&#13;
activities to welcome and commemorate the feast day. The faithful consistently&#13;
demonstrate enthusiasm during Christmas, attending church celebrations in large&#13;
numbers, which contrasts with the lower attendance on ordinary Sundays. The Saint&#13;
Mark Basic Ecclesial Community (BEC), Sambi Barat, Saint Hilarius Parish,&#13;
Klepu, maintains specific activities and traditions to celebrate Christmas.&#13;
Grounded in the contemporary practices of the Sambi Barat community, this&#13;
research poses the following questions: How does the Saint Mark BEC community&#13;
understand the meaning of the Christmas celebration? How does the Saint Mark&#13;
BEC community internalize the meaning of the Christmas celebration?&#13;
This study aims to elucidate the Nativity Cycle, comprising the spiritualities&#13;
of the Advent and Christmas Seasons, and to describe the history and activities&#13;
within the Saint Mark Basic Ecclesial Community, Sambi Barat, Saint Hilarius&#13;
Parish, Klepu. To achieve these objectives, the researcher employed a qualitative&#13;
methodology, conducting direct field interviews with seven respondents selected&#13;
through Purposive Sampling. The research was conducted in the Saint Mark Basic&#13;
Ecclesial Community, Sambi Barat, Saint Hilarius Parish, Klepu, from June 12 to&#13;
24, 2025.&#13;
The findings of the study conclude that: 1) The faithful of the Saint Mark&#13;
BEC, Sambi Barat, Saint Hilarius Parish, Klepu, have not fully grasped the&#13;
understanding of the meaning of the Christmas celebration. They are generally only&#13;
able to identify December 25th as the Lord's birth and name figures from the&#13;
Nativity story. 2) The Saint Mark BEC community has not entirely articulated the&#13;
internalization of the meaning of the Christmas celebration. While some members&#13;
have integrated the Nativity story into their personal, family, and community lives,&#13;
the community engages in preparations before, during, and after Christmas&#13;
through activities aligned with the five tasks of the Church: Kerygma&#13;
(proclamation), Koinonia (fellowship), Leitourgia (worship), Martyria (witness),&#13;
and Diakonia (service). The "fruit" of Christmas experienced by the Saint Mark&#13;
community is the sense of togetherness, gathering with family and neighbors while&#13;
sharing the joyful tidings of Christmas.&#13;
