A VILLAGE EXPERIENCE
The best I can do is try to engage your imagination so
you can feel a bit of what we did this weekend.
Strings in the Chapel.
A candlelit concert in the historic Santa Rosa Chapel
that sits on a hill overlooking Cambria's east village.

The candle lit chapel glows above you as you begin the steep walk up the hill. Inside Yule wreaths,boughs and candles in the windows create a hushed glow that is soon filled with exquisite strings, hammered dulcimer, heavenly vocals and story. Judith tells a tale of a Christmas past, this year's offering was of blizzard and hard pressed 1950 in Northern Indiana. There is also a telling of
"Twas the night before Christmas..."
The word has become cliche, but indeed in this case it is true and real-there is a magic feel to the annual candle lit event.
There is no heat in the chapel and the only light is
as it was when it was built in 1870.
Those in the old pews seem in touch with Christmas tides of old.
Descending the hill, filled with such harmony, the
Christmas lights of the East Village shinning below you,
is a unique and special imprint of the season.
