A Tradition for Over 50 Years
Experience the wonder of Christmas in Christ Chapel, Gustavus’s beloved annual celebration of the Nativity. This inspiring event brings together the powerful voices of the Gustavus Choir, Choir of Christ Chapel, and Lucia Singers, the vibrant energy of the Christ Chapel Ringers and Gustavus Symphony Orchestra, and the graceful artistry of the Gustavus Dance Company. Join us for this campus tradition as music, movement, and sacred story unite to spark joy and reflection.
A Shoot Shall Spring Forth
The 2026 theme anticipates the significance of Christ’s life and work through engaging with the wondrous visions of the Prophet Isaiah. In times of despair, Isaiah offers vivid depictions of tender beginnings where new life springs forth from forsaken wilderness. Through music, dance, and spoken word, the service celebrates the season of God’s advent among us with holy awe, comforting words of hope, and an invitation to push toward light and love.
