Stroll the grounds of Bryn Athyn Cathedral, see the illuminated building and stained-glass windows, walk through the Cloister to enjoy our Nativity triptych and representation of the birth of Christ, while strolling carolers delight you with sacred Christmas music.
Take in the sights of Glencairn Museum’s grounds adorned with the cheerful glow of glimmering lights. Embrace the spirit of the Christmas season as you view Nativity scenes displayed in the Museum’s windows. A special feature of the display includes a stained-glass window depicting the Christmas story made by well-known artist Lawrence Saint. The Museum’s Cloister will be decorated with twinkling lights and Christmas trees trimmed with handmade ornaments made by students of local schools. A great place for a photo op!
