The Glory of Christmas

I've never been, but everyone always raves about The Glory of Christmas at the Crystal Cathedral. A live nativity (complete with flying angels and live camels, horses, goats, sheep & even a donkey), professional dancers, & Christmas carols... I'm starting to understand why The Glory of Christmas draws visitors from all over the world.

The Glory of Christmas runs Thursday, December 3rd - Sunday, January 3rd. Tickets start at $35 and reach $45 for front Main Floor & South Balcony seating. Although, there are several "special discount" nights which offer ALL seating for just $20. Buy your tickets HERE.

What: The Glory of Christmas
When: Thursday, December 3rd - Sunday, January 3rd
Where: Crystal Cathedral, 12141 Lewis St., Garden Grove, CA 92840
