"The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!"

One of our most wonderful parish traditions is to sing Christmas carols, including kalanda, following Vesperal Divine Liturgy on Christmas Eve. However, we know that this year is going to be a little different with many families unable to physically attend church given the ongoing pandemic.

To make sure that no one misses out on this special tradition, we invite all of our Sunday School families to join in on the making of a Christmas Kalanda Video Compilation!

Each family who signs up will be given one verse to sing from either "Joy to the World" or "Καλήν Εσπέραν". An individual child, a group of siblings, friends, or even an entire family can sing the verse; whichever way speaks to you the most!

You only need two things to make your music video: a camera (smartphone, laptop, IPad, or tablet works) and a big smile!

Then, we will compile all the submissions into a single video. The final music video will be sent to our St. Athanasius family to spread Christmas cheer, helping us to feel close even when far apart!
