’Twas the Night Before Christmas: A Reading
For more than 100 years, the Church of the Intercession in Upper Manhattan, formerly a Trinity chapel, has hosted a festive annual reading of A Visit from St. Nicholas, better known as ’Twas the Night Before Christmas. This year’s reading, by Errol Louis, political anchor of NY1 News and host of Inside City Hall, will be followed by a lantern procession with St. Nicholas to the neighboring Trinity Cemetery and Mausoleum for a short service in memory of author Clement Clarke Moore (1779-1863).
