The Candlelight Processional is a feast of sights and sounds as it begins with the music of a full orchestra and choir who set the tone as a celebrity guest narrator joins the stage.  Narrators this year include Amy Grant, Ashley Judd & Edward James Olmos!

The narrator then reads the text that outlines the story of the birth of Jesus Christ in a manger in Bethlehem.  The reading is supported by festive and inspiring holiday music provided by the choir and orchestra.  An interpreter is provided for hearing impaired guests, which is wonderful because they want as many guests as possible to be a part of this event!
