In the heart of Wyoming Seminary, a tradition that continues to illuminate the holiday season, the Christmas Chapel is a cherished event. This annual event is the beginning of spiritual reflection and musical worship through the timeless message of the Nine Lessons and Carols, which has been around for over 140 years. The Christmas Chapel intertwines scripture and song, narrating the history of the Christian faith through a series of nine passages from the Bible. The story of Adam and Eve unveils humanity’s separation from God and the need for divine intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
