1. Just the best...

I love that they do this...

2. Sometimes the Catholic church delivers and this is one of those times.

3. "It is the Cathedral church of the Episcopal Diocese of New York."

Today, as the mother church of the Episcopal Diocese of New York and the seat of its bishop, the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine serves the many diverse people of our diocese, city, nation and world through the worship of God; pastoral, educational and community outreach activities; cultural and civic events; international ecumenical initiatives; and the preservation of the great architectural and historic site that is its legacy.

4. The dancing (1.32ish) is riveting.

5. I liked the dance with the whale songs and flying bird puppets at about the one hour mark

6. That was very nice but I thought they were flying fish.

7. I thought they might be fish too, but preferred imagining them as birds :)

8. TY! Will watch tonight. Went many times. Always beautiful, and uplifting!

And seeing all the pets people brought.
Special one was a fireman bringing their Dalmatian.
Being inside The Cathedral is always wonderful!

9. A joyous celebration of life immersed in beauty ...

I think the Eurasian Eagle-Owl that appears at these events is Flaco's younger sibling, who lives at the Bronx Zoo.
