Christmas Vespers
An annual event with a more than 80-year history, Christmas Vespers is one of Rollins College’s most beloved traditions.
The Highlight of Every Holiday Season
Christmas Vespers’ beautiful, candlelit services are a Rollins tradition with a rich history that stretches back to 1933.
About Christmas Vespers at Rollins
Each year, Rollins invites the community to the Knowles Memorial Chapel for Christmas Vespers, an evening of carols and lessons performed by the Virginia S. & W. W. Nelson Department of Music's choral and instrumental ensembles. An elegant candlelit procession is followed by student-performed Christmas carols as well as scripture readings that reflect on the Christmas season.
2020 Schedule & Tickets
Saturday, December 12th at 5:00 PM
This year's Christmas Vespers, like many other events in our lives, will look a bit different. We will move from the traditional setting of Knowles Memorial Chapel to Winter Park's Central Park. The socially-distanced "pods" that the City of Winter Park has created will allow guests to enjoy the annual tradition of Christmas Vespers in a safe format.
