Join us at the Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and National Shrine for a deeply moving musical experience inspired by one of Greece’s most beloved Christmas stories, on Sunday, December 7 at 7pm. Fellowship and light refreshments to follow.

We are proud to present Christmas at the Castle, a remarkable musical work by Kyriakos Kalaitzidis (composer) with text by Vasiliki Nevrokopli, based on the cherished short story “To Christ, at the Castle” (Στὸ Χριστό στὸ Κάστρο) by the great Greek author Alexandros Papadiamantis.

This exquisite composition—released by Cappella Records—beautifully brings Papadiamantis’ Christmas tale to life through:

• Authentic Byzantine musical tradition

• Poetic 15-syllable Greek verse

• Atmospheric sacred soundscapes

• A story filled with faith, compassion, and the true spirit of Christmas

Come and be uplifted as we celebrate the Nativity with a concert that honors both our Orthodox musical tradition and the enduring power of Greek literature.

A unique and unforgettable concert for our faithful, families, and all friends of the Shrine.
