Christmas Eve Candlelight Service 2025

St. Francis’ meditations on the life of Christ inspired him to create the first Nativity scene in Greccio, Italy, in 1223. Through the music of Swami Kriyananda, storytelling, and traditional caroling, we will recreate this beautiful moment as St. Francis experienced it long ago. Please join Ananda Sacramento’s choir along with Eliza, James and Tom Cerusi, Sudipta and her husband Suddh, Alan, and many others as we celebrate this divine event. We hope you will join us. “Behold the astral star of divine wisdom and let the wise thoughts in you follow that telescopic star to behold the Christ everywhere.” – Paramhansa Yogananda
