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.
