The Brothers and Chorus Breviarii helped to inaugurate the Nativity Scene at the Town Hall in the mountain town of Ramona, CA through the singing of modern, ancient, and medieval Christmas tunes in joyful anticipation of the coming season. Highway 78 was closed for the town's Christmas Festival, which included vendors and many photo-ops with decorated hotrods and festive tractor trailers. Our carols started soon after the town's Christmas tree lighting the next block over.
For all of us, it was our first time attending this event, and we hope to attend more events like it in the future. While we have caroled in the recent past for a private event, bringing religiously-significant carols to the public sphere is a humbling opportunity for us to spread Christ to a secular world. Paraphrasing Fratellino, it was an experimental first time out, and we will grow it in the future.
Special thanks to Diane Chapman for her invitation, and a big thank you to the parishioners of Immaculate Heart of Mary in Ramona for coming out to support.
