What happens on Christmas day in the church in Australia?

Answer 1

It depends on the Christian denomination. Many Australians do go to church on Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve services in many Lutheran churches, for example, are spectacular celebrations of Jesus's birth. Roman Catholic Churches and Anglicans hold Christmas Eve Mass or services, and other denominations may also hold Christmas Eve services.

Answer 2

This depends upon the church.

Many churches have a joyful celebration of Christ's birth, which may include a formal liturgy or a completely informal service. Christmas carols are sung; in some churches there is a special children's address; some churches have tasteful worship dances performed. In churches which do not have a Christmas Eve service, there might be a pageant re-enacting the Christmas story, while churches that have a Christmas Eve service (such as the Lutheran church) are more likely to do such a pageant on Christmas Eve.
