The monastery exploded into a flurry of activity as teams of monks and guests draped the garlands, trimmed the tree in Pilgrim Hall and set up the chapel for Christmas. It appeared that several local folks came up to help as well. I mostly helped in the chapel, but was forbidden to blog about it until tonight so as not to ruin any of the surprises.
The rest of this evening include First Vespers of Christmas and Procession to the Creche at 5:00 PM, Supper at 6:00, a meditation on "Room at the Inn" with Brother Scott in Pilgrim Hall at 7:30, music in the chapel at 10:30, First Christmas Mass at 11:00, and "Christmas Merriment" following that.
It's interesting to note that Matins tomorrow is at 11:00 AM instead of it's typical 7:00 AM.
