Tristan enjoyed beautiful weather during the Christmas period. Ladies decorated graves in the island cemeteries on Christmas Eve, and Midnight Mass was celebrated in both the churches. Christmas lunches included the traditional stuffed roast mutton, and the rest of the day was spent at leisure with families taking advantage of the sun at the beaches
Midnight Mass at St Mary's Church, starting with the lighting of candles, led by Lay Minister Lars Repetto. | |

Among other things, Christmas is a time for having fun at Runaway Beach | |
