Candlelight
Join us for a night filled of Chatham Traditions including Candlelight, Eggnog, and Holiday Ball. Here is a student excerpt from last years Candlelight Ceremony:
“One of Chatham’s many traditions is a candlelight service. This service is held on the first Friday of December and put on by the Chatham Choir. As a part of the Chatham Choir I got the opportunity to get a “backstage pass” and see how Candlelight comes together.
From day one of choir we started to learn our music for Candlelight. It was a very long journey to say the least. Learning the music was not the last of our Candlelight adventure. The week of Candlelight everyone in the choir had the opportunity to decorate the Chapel, which was amazing. We transformed the Chapel into a winter wonderland. The big day had finally arrived and we were all nervous and excited. Everyone had their dresses on and we were ready to get up on that stage and show everyone what we had been doing for the past four months. Candlelight started, we sang our songs, instruments were played, and readings were read. At the end, I knew all of our hard work had paid off when I looked out into the Chapel and saw everyone holding their lit candles in the air singing Silent Night. It was an amazing scene and I will never forget it.”
