In the Maribor Cathedral it will be said by the general vicar of the archdiocese of Maribor Janez Lesnik. The midnight mass in the Koper Cathedral of the Assumption will be led by Bishop Jurij Bizjak and in Novo Mesto by the Bishop Andrej Glavan. Due to the use of the Julian calendar protestants celebrate Christmas later. But the Bishop Geza Filo will say mass at 6 PM at the Primož Trubar Church in Ljubljana as well.

Tomorrow on the 25th of December Christmas will be widely celebrated in the World. The date on the 25th for the event of Jesus' birth was set by Pope Julius I in the 4th century. It is also a national Slovenian holiday. Slovenians also have a day off on the 26th of December, as the country celebrates Independence and Unity Day.
