Vatican Plans to Welcome Christmas with Carols; Arranges Worldwide TV Broadcast of Dec.24 Event

The Catholic News Service blog reports today (December 4, 2011) that the Vatican is planning to sing its way into the Christmas season this year, with a chorus and orchestra leading Christmas carols at the annual unveiling of its Nativity scene.

The hour-long evening ceremony on December 24 will feature traditional Christmas songs in several languages, performed by a 100-person choir and orchestra in St. Peter's Square.

The Vatican is arranging for worldwide television broadcast of the event.

As usual, Pope Benedict XVI is expected to bless the gathering from his apartment window above the square.
