"Oh Come All Ye Faithful" is the first season finale of the HBO television series "Sex and the City". It originally aired on August 23 1998.

The religion of three of the women's lovers comes into play in this episode. Carrie discovers Mr. Big going to church on Sundays. Miranda dates a playwright with a strong case of catholic guilt, and Samantha falls in love with a perfect man, but he doesn't measure up to her requirements. Charlotte gets psychic readers to see if she'll ever marry.

This religious aspect accounts for the ironic name chosen for the episode, a quotation from the well-known hymn "Adeste Fideles".

At the end of the episode, Carrie breaks up with Big, after asking him to tell her she was the one and he can't. Interestingly enough, these are the exact words that he tells her in the series finale.
