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.
Seeking Hope: Dreams of a New Way
The 2025 theme takes us on a journey of longing, discovery, and renewal. Like the Magi, we embark as seekers—drawn by wonder, gathering in joyful adoration at the Nativity, and embracing a shared dream of hope, transformation, and unity. Through music, dance, and spoken word, the service celebrates the power of hope to guide us toward a new and more compassionate way of being—together.
