Christmas Eve in Washington DC


logo

For 20 years my sons Sacha, Tristan and I have been going to this service at the National Cathedral on Christmas Eve. We describe it as our great highlight of the year. In the photos, the approaching cathedral, the entrance, aspects inside, some candids of us (one from 18 years ago, for perspective! I almost wore the same jacket!) anyway, you'll get the idea. I took very few shots during the service. Most of what you will see is before the service and after it.
