Nürnberger Christkind Prologue And Pyramid Lighting At Christmas Village In Philadelphia, PA On November 30, 2025

The Christkind of Nürnberg (Nuremberg) was present at the official opening of Christmas Village within Love Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania yesterday, November 30, 2025.  This has been a fine tradition for a number of years.  I met the Nürnberger Christkind at this event and location back in 2014.  On this cold, late afternoon, Christkind appeared to read the Prologue, listen as "Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht" ("Silent Night, Holy Night") was performed by a choir, light the Pyramid (which is new for the village), cut the ribbon, pose for pictures and hand out candy and postcards.   Rain in German/Deutsch is regen, and, indeed, it was raining.  You can see rain drops coming down and on me in the following video and photographs.

I met Christkind prior to the Prologue.  I wore my Bavarian-style tie for this occasion.
