AIOPA - CandleLight Service and Christmas Concert
AIOPA’s final Pan-Orthodox event for the calendar year was the annual Candlelight Service and Christmas Concert, held on December 18. This year, four parish choirs participated: St. John the Wonderworker Choir, Saints Constantine and Helen Choir, Annunciation Cathedral Men’s Choir and Annunciation Cathedral Mixed Choir, along with other choir members from various Orthodox parishes throughout Atlanta. The various choirs each sang traditional Orthodox hymns as well as Western carols, and came together at beginning and end for beautiful renditions of O Come All Ye Faithful and O Holy Night. The event was attended by clergy and parishioners from Saints Constantine and Helen (Romanian), Holy Transfiguration (GOA), St. Basil’s (OCA), St. Elias (Antiochian), St. John the Wonderworker (OCA), Annunciation Cathedral (GOA), and St. Philothea (GOA).
