Christmas Candlelight Services
|
The South Carolina
Corps of Cadets presents its Christmas Candlelight Service
annually to the Lowcountry in Summerall Chapel on
The Citadel campus. The service is presented each year
at 7:30 p.m. on the first Saturday of December,
and the following Sunday and Monday.
Cadets
from the Protestant, Catholic, Gospel Choirs, Chorale, and members of
The Citadel Regimental Band take part in the annual celebration of
the birth of Christ, observing the events of the Advent, the Annunciation,
the Birth of the King, and Epiphany through Scripture lessons and carols.
Traditional and international favorites are sung, and special highlights
include the Procession of Lights.
Cadets coordinate the production
with Nancy Lefter, director of chorale activities, organist Mark A. Bebensee
of the School of Business Administration and Commander Mike Alverson,
director of music.
