Christmas Vigil Mass was very special at St. John's. We used modulated lighting to highlight the welcoming of Jesus' birth in the manger as we sung the "Glory to God in the Highest". Second, we tried to create a meaningful connection between the popular cultural personality of Santa Claus and Jesus....as Santa came to visit and kneel in adoration to worship the baby Jesus at the manger. Santa had a brief but beautiful message for the kids.
