This Is Christmas | Cantata | Mar Thoma Syrian Church in Singapore (2025)

This Is Christmas is a powerful Christmas cantata by Mary McDonald that invites listeners to reflect on the true heart of the season — the birth of Christ, our King and Savior. Through familiar carols, inspired original melodies, and thoughtful narration, the work unfolds the Christmas story with depth and beauty. As the highlight of the 2025 Carol Service of the Mar Thoma Syrian Church in Singapore, this presentation is brought to life through a combination of choral music, narration, visuals, and choreography. Orchestrated by Ed Hogan, the work offers a compelling worship experience that draws hearts and minds to the true heart of Christmas — the birth of Christ our Savior.
