The great mystery of Christmas is explored on 'Keeping Christmas', the latest release from Gloriae Dei Cantores. A beloved holiday tradition on Cape Cod, the singers of Gloriae Dei Cantores celebrate the joys of the season with a traditional candlelit service of readings and carols held at the Church of the Transfiguration in Orleans, Massachusetts. This retelling of the stories of Christ’s birth will stir memories and inspire hope for peace and goodwill toward others.
