First Dawn Mass: An experienced

I woke up around 2:00 AM in the morning since it’s First Day of Misa De Galeo, expecting that there would be few people to attend the mass. I,  and my mother went to the church and arrived around 2:30 AM. I was shocked when I saw there are many parishioners.

Last year, during 3:00 AM, you can't see vacant seats and all you can find are people carrying their own chairs and laid them on the aisle. But now, it took around 1:30 AM before the crowd of people started. But different from last year, yeah there are many people attended the mass this dawn but not as few as last year.

I wonder why. I heard from the other people that if you completed the mass then you can make a wish and it will come true. I realized how many percent (%) of the people who attended the mass this morning thinking that way. Does that mean also that the increase of number of people attending the mass this year compared to last year.
