  • I tried to make each image somewhat related to the lyrics and also to express the key moments of Christ's life, all enclosed within the infancy narrative.

    My Church is in Red Bluff,Ca. Sacred Heart Church is a 120 year old Cathedral. My wife Suzie and I sing in the Church Choir. We have a large Church Choir. Every Christmas at midnight candelite mass we sing this beautiful song. The Church Choir hasn't sung and will not be performing our beautiful Candle light Concert since the covid has kept us from doing so. It brings tears to my eyes. We all miss singing to our Lord.

    I'm literally crying because my uncle died and never got to at least have a Christmas Eve with the whole entire family. Also I'm in a church choir and we had to sing night of silence while the audience, people were singing silent night. And my favorite priest father Agustin was leaving to Alaska the next day and he even came to my uncles funeral and did so much❤️😭😰😍☺️😊😃😄

    Our church choir and congregation sings this at the midnight (11pm..) services most years. Some years we sing "Peace, Peace", Thank you for posting such a nice performance. Nice pacing, nice recording, nice instruments and the slideshow (with words!) help deepen the experience. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

    I sang this with my 5th grade class back in December 2013. It was at the Blessed Sacrament Church in Warren Ohio, I was only 10 and I remember that night clearly, we used this video for the music, I’ve kept this video and the song in my heart ever since. Every time I listen to this particular version, I get chills, it’s such a amazing, incredible, god-like version that always amazes me! 🙏🏻

Where is this Gonzaga Chorus? Being in the season of Advent, I hope to introduce this beautiful music to my other other Orthodox and Anglican friends. Sure beats Devo any time!

      @@jimmybuccini7377 you are right------technically, the Ascension and the Assumption DON'T have anything SPECIFICALLY to do with the Nativity...... what I believe is the message here is that the Nativity, or rather, the birth of Jesus, started eveything----- had He not been born in order to die at the age of 33 for mankinds' sins, there would be no reason or necessity for either the Ascension or the Assumption. These 2 events are part of the history of Jesus. In the collage of images while this beautiful song is being performed, there was also the Annunciation---- where the angel appears to Mary to tell her she is to be the Mother of God. That would come BEFORE the Nativity, obviously, but it's all part & parcel of our Savior's history.
