The
Meaning of our Holiday Decor
One of our more
“family” type activities in the monastery is our annual Christmas
decorating. Two large trees grace the confines of the monastery –
one in the dining room, the other in the chapel. The monks take a
lot of care decorating these trees with lights and ornaments. Br.
Jim also adds many hundreds of lights to the trees outside the chapel
which greet our visitors during this holiday season. The trees
and decorations are a sign of the brightness of this otherwise dark
time of year, illuminated by the One who brought us light through his
coming. May that Light shine in all of our hearts as we celebrate
his holy and life-giving birth.
