College of Saint Mary to host Lessons and Carols
OMAHA, Neb. – College of Saint Mary will host its annual Christmas concert, Lessons and Carols, at 7 p.m. Dec. 2 in the Our Lady of Mercy Chapel. The event features Dr. Christopher Krampe and the CSM Singers.
Lessons and Carols is a beloved Christmas tradition that began in England during the late 19th century. It has since gained worldwide popularity for its entertaining, beautiful depiction of the Christmas story. Scripture readings that tell the story of the promise of the Messiah and the birth of Jesus are interspersed with Christmas carols, hymns and choir music.
“Lessons and Carols provides us with a chance to step out of the hectic pace of the holidays and relax within tradition and beauty,” Dr. Krampe said. “It’s a great start to the Advent and Christmas seasons.”
