“This year, the Cathedral’s majestic façade will be adorned with a stunning display of over 30 million pixels, bringing to life the heartfelt message of the Little Drummer Boy,” said Archbishop Fisher. “This story reminds us that true sacrifice and worship come from the heart, not from material wealth. It’s a celebration of love and humility that resonates with all of us.”
For the first time, guests will also have the opportunity to explore the beautifully illuminated crypt below the Cathedral, enhancing the overall Christmas experience for families and visitors alike.
“Christmas at the Cathedral is a place where everyone belongs and where the light of Christmas shines brightly for all to see,” added Archbishop Fisher. “We invite you to join us in celebrating the true Reason for the Season.”
