Glory of Christmas - Los Angeles Hotels .com

There is no better place to discover your Christmas spirit than at the Glory of Christmas at the Crystal Cathedral. This glass palace annually hosts a live-action Christmas story, complete with actors, flying angels, and a real animal manger featuring adult and baby camels, sheep, goats, horses, a yak, a llama, and a baby water buffalo.

This beloved nativity scene comes to life with the musical accompaniment of the London Symphony Orchestra and live caroling by talented adults and children alike. In addition, the cathedral's venerated pipe organ--with over 21,000 unique pipes--sends chills down the spine when it fills the all-glass cathedral with cherished Christmas music.

The magic of the evening seems even more poignant when shared with 2,500 hushed strangers, which is what the Crystal Cathedral holds. This unique Christmas experience runs late November thru early January; early reservations are encouraged for optimal seating.
