Pascua Militar
Explanation:
Would leave it in Spanish, with a footnote, because, if I am not mistaken, there is no specifically military celebration in the English speaking world of the birth of Christ.
Probably due to dissapear if progressive thinking has its way.

If you're still on this subject, you might like to check today's El País for an article on this celebration and how it is likely to become just a New Year's cocktail party for the local garrison. It ends:

Epiphany


Explanation:
I must admit I've never heard the expression Pascua Militar before but the 6th January is Epiphany in the UK. It's not a bank holiday.

Now the Church is suspended between its old ally the armies and its new clientele, the people... in Spain Epiphany, when the Three Kings brought gifts to the King of Peace, is celebrated with a pascua militar, a mass celebrated for the armed forces by their bishop, with the King dressed in army uniform. Presumably the idea is that the armed forces and the Guardia Civil bring peace to the world.
