A beloved century-old tradition at the Church of the Intercession in Upper Manhattan features the Young Peoples Chorus, who perform festive carols as part of an enchanting evening that includes a dramatic reading of Clement Clarke Moore’s classic poem by NY1 News anchor Errol Louis, followed by a magical lantern procession with St. Nicholas through the historic Trinity Cemetery and Mausoleum. 

This free community event celebrates the legacy of Moore, who penned the cherished poem in 1822 as a gift to his six children. Following the cemetery service in his memory, guests are invited to a warm reception.
