Merry Christmas!
- 2016/12/24 -
With the first lines of the Christmas Oratory of J.S. Bach (performed in Jerusalem at Christmas 2016) the sisters of St. Charles wish you merry Christmas and a happy new year 2016:

"Jauchzet, frohlocket! Auf, preiset die Tage,
Rühmet, was heute der Höchste getan! 
Lasset das Zagen, verbannet die Klage, 
Stimmet voll Jauchzen und Fröhlichkeit an! 

Dienet dem Höchsten mit herrlichen Chören, 
Lasst uns den Namen des Herrschers verehren! "

"Shout for joy, exult, rise up, glorify the day, 
praise what today the highest has done!
Abandon hesitation, banish lamentation,
begin to sing with rejoicing and exaltation!
Serve the highest with glorious choirs,
let us honour the name of our ruler!"
