Our little monastery gift shop is always busy this time of year! This year has been especially busy with sales of our new Christmas CD!
This album offers fresh meditations on the beauty and wonder of Christmas, featuring 15 traditional hymns and carols in English, Latin, French, Polish, German, and Italian. It reaches back through the ages to these European cultures that have always welcomed the Christ Child in simplicity and love.
The devotion of ages lives on in these songs, even to this day. These hymns and carols are also a glimpse into the heartwarming welcome we give Him here at the monastery each Christmas. We hope that you too will open your heart and find Jesus and the peace and love He brings to all who adore By the Manger at Christmas!
Hymns and Carols by the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Brothers and Sisters. Watch the sampler video below.
