The Archdiocesan Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in New York City hosted its 49th annual Christmas concert on Dec. 19.
His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America attended the program, remarking that the concert opened “a variety of pathways to understand and participate in the meaning of the Feast of the Nativity in the flesh of the Son of God. Whether the hymns proclaim with Angelic splendor, or they reflect the tender “Little Town” of Bethlehem, they each offer perspectives that can inform our hearts and minds, if we will only let the music enter our souls.”
Read His Eminence’s full remarks.
