The busyness, the hustle and hectic preparation for the celebration of Christmas ended with the beautiful presentation of " Let There Be Joy" at Mary Mother of Hope Parish in New Castle, Pennsylvania.
On December 26 th the community gathered to celebrate a quieter time of the season.
Many gathered to relax, meditate, and enjoy the musical artistry from the choir loft and to absorb the brilliance and beauty of the scene at Bethlehem displayed before them.
Numerous exquisitely decorated trees surrounded the intricately detailed, seventy-inch scale, Fontanini Nativity. Massive bouquets of red and white poinsettias graced the sanctuary to recreate the scene of splendor and majesty of that Holy Night.
Although no photo can recapture the peace and tranquility of that afternoon, here is a slide show of the event.
Thanks to Rev. Victor J. Molka, Pastor and to all of the people who worked so deligently to create a visual display of the blessed stillness of Christmas.
Enjoy!
"Let the Countenance of Jesus Christ shine from you this season." May Jesus Christ be the gift that we share with everyone God brings into our lives. May there be no door close behind us that we haven't been 'the Christ' to that person's need.....
