Venezuela Celebration

Roller Skating to Mass

πŸ“– About This Tradition

In Caracas, Venezuela, it's tradition to roller skate to early morning Christmas Mass! Streets are closed to traffic so people can safely skate to church. Children often tie one end of a string to their toe before bed, leaving the other end hanging out the window so early-morning skaters can tug it as they pass by to wake them up.
