I moved to Florida in December 2018 and spent the first part of 2019 renovating my new home. I then began exploring the area. Sometime in the late spring of 2019, I discovered St. Leo Abbey. The abbey, located in St. Leo, Florida, is approximately one hour from my home. I try to attend Mass at St. Leo’s often. It is a beautiful experience as the monks chant many parts of the Mass.

In December 2019, I visited St. Leo Abbey. I knew the church would be decorated for Christmas. What I didn’t expect to see was the beautiful display of the city of Bethlehem. This, of course, included the nativity scene. Never had I seen a display of the entire city of Bethlehem. It provided a deeper appreciation and understanding for what it was like on that amazing night when our Savior was born.

Here is a video of what I experienced at St. Leo Abbey in December 2019.

Merry Christmas! And God Bless all!
