Heavenly Father,

As I gaze out this window upon Your creation - the vast sky, the whispering trees, the play of light on earth - open my heart like a pane to the heavens.

Let me behold the beauty of Your wisdom mirrored in nature's wonders. May I contemplate You in all things and carry Your light into the world.

Amen.

Festival Continues Tonight 

Join us nightly as we celebrate the true meaning of Christmas with music, lights and joy.

Known as the world's largest Christmas Choral Festival, more than 150 choirs will perform over the course of 32 nights in the Chapel of Mary, known for its cathedral-like acoustics. 

There are nightly puppet shows and caroling in the pavilion tent, and don't forget the millions of lights, including our walk-thru Christmas tree!

Get your tickets now. There will be limited admission on busy nights, so make sure to get your tickets early.

Please bring a non-perishable food item for SnowCap.

Thank You to our Festival Sponsors
