A tradition since 1973, "Christmas In Christ Chapel At Gustavus" is a time for the Gustavus Adolphus College community in St. Peter, Minnesota to celebrate the holidays with one another.
More than 300 students, faculty, and staff bring the program to life each year through the use of music, dance, spoken word, and the visual arts.
The theme for the concert, which comes from creative director Brian Konkol, a former South African resident, is "Ubuntu, Jesu: From the Cradle of Humankind to the Ends of the Earth."
"Ubuntu" is an African concept that affirms the interdependence of humanity.
The performance, which takes place under a symbolic and sacred baobab tree, contains artistic choices grounded in the African continent, and celebrates unity by connecting the incarnation of Christ with the creation of humankind in Africa.
