Christmas at Lebh Shomea

Welcome to our Celebration of the Incarnation!

As a contemplative-eremitical community, we celebrate the mystery of the Word-Made-Flesh predominantly in a spirit of silence and solitude. Jesus entered the world at a specific time and into a particular culture, but the Christ of faith transcends time and culture, becoming incarnate in every culture in each generation. The Core Community and the guests of the House of Prayer come from many countries and backgrounds.

In order to provide a prayerful ambiance befitting the season, different crèches representing various cultures are situated at the following locations:

The Chapel of the Little Children

The Big House

The Community Center

Roncalli

Sacred Heart Chapel

As a sign of the interconnectedness of all creation and God's incarnate love for the whole cosmos, we have enhanced most of the nativity scenes with dried materials (leaves, flowers, grasses, etc.) from the landscape surrounding the House of Prayer.

¡Feliz Navidad y Bendito Año Nuevo!
