A Rorate Mass is a pre-dawn candlelight Mass celebrated during Advent in honor of Our Lady. The name comes from the Entrance Antiphon, Rorate caeli: "Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness." The Mass begins only in candlelight, with dawn breaking as Jesus Christ, the Light of the World, is born again upon the altar in the holy Eucharist.
