“The Glory of Christmas” Now Through Jan 3
The Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove had only been open for a year when its production “The Glory of Christmas” was introduced. Now in its 28th year, this story of the nativity is re-told in a spectacular pageant nightly (except Christmas Day) through Jan. 3. Thursday and Friday, Dec. 17 and 18, performances are at 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. (both these dates offer a discount price of $20). Saturday, Dec. 19 and Sunday, Dec. 20 performances are at 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. On Monday, Dec. 21 performances are held at 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 22 and Wednesday, Dec. 23, the pageant is given three times: at 4:30 p.m., 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. A similar schedule follows Christmas to Jan. 3.
The Cathedral, which seats 2,500 for these presentations, becomes home to an enormous set, flying angels, the world’s largest (in numbers of pipes) pipe organ, and a cast of over 100—not including three adult camels, a baby camel, six horses, a yak, a llama, a baby water buffalo and numerous sheep and goats. Music for this event is pre-recorded and is provided by the London Symphony Orchestra.
Tickets are $35, $40 and $45 with a discount of $2 for seniors over age 62 and children under age 12. A seating chart for each performance is provided on the website www.crystalcathedral.org and due to the popularity of the event, it may be best to check there. The Crystal Cathedral is located at 12141 Lewis St., Garden Grove. Information: (877) 544-5679
