This January Arab Christmas returns to Grand Junction!

Join us for a rare opportunity to experience the atmosphere of Christmas in the Arab world as the Grand Junction gently lit by candles. You will hear Arabic, Syriac, Coptic, and Byzantine chants, harking back to the time of Queen Zanubia’s Palmyra in the second century CE.
