Talk:Watchnight service

Strangely, this article completely ignores any other than New Year's watchnight. It is common in many traditions to observe watchnight services on the night before Easter Day and on Christmas Eve. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WillMcCrum (talk • contribs) 07:08, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

An absolutely awful article, I know; but certainly something I believe should be included. Hopefully other editors will be able to develop it somewhat. --Breadandcheese (talk) 00:59, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

There may be some fact-checking to do
Snopes.com says that the claim of African American remembrances of Watchnight being related to the Emancipation Proclamation is false. See https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/watch-night/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrMalindaEB (talk • contribs) 17:59, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
