Christmas Events at Menno Place

Here’s what’s happening around campus in December for our residents and their family and friends! Staff are also welcome to pop in and share in some Christmas cheer.

Hymn Stories – December 2024

The origins of this carol date to medieval times. The Latin verses were discovered in the mid 1800s by an English minister named John Mason Neale, who translated and wove them together to produce “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.” Neale is also the author of the carol, “Good King Wenceslas,” and the Palm Sunday hymn, “All Glory, Laud, and Honor.” Find out more about this poet, scholar, and director of a home for the elderly.
