St. Francis’ meditations on the life of Christ inspired him to create the first Nativity scene in Greccio, Italy, in 1223. Through the music of Swami Kriyananda, storytelling, and traditional caroling, we will recreate this beautiful moment as St. Francis experienced it long ago.

Please join Ananda Sacramento’s choir along with Eliza, James and Tom Cerusi, Sudipta and her husband Suddh, Alan, and many others as we celebrate this divine event. We hope you will join us.

“Behold the astral star of divine wisdom and let the wise thoughts in you follow that telescopic star to behold the Christ everywhere.” – Paramhansa Yogananda

“Do not be afraid of anything. Even when tossing on a wave in a storm, you are still on the bosom of the ocean. Always hold on to the consciousness of God’s underlying presence. Be of even mind, and say: “I am fearless; I am made of the substance of God.” – Paramhansa Yogananda

This event will be In Person at our temple in Rancho Cordova, and on our YouTube Channel.

You only get cake if you show up in person!

Deepen your connection with the divine through an evening of chanting! Join guest chanters Vayu, Christian, and Mike from Ananda Village as they lead us in singing the spiritual chants of Paramhansa Yogananda and Swami Kriyananda.

Brief periods of silence between chants will allow us to absorb the spirit of the music deeply.

“While praying or chanting, do not think of the words, but of their meaning, and intensely mentally offer the thought behind them to God, and your prayer will drop straight like a plummet into the depths of the sea of God’s consciousness.” – Paramhansa Yogananda
