UCP choir shares Christmas video
The Choir of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa wishes the whole community a Holy Christmas, with an original song created to mark this date.
"Sleeping Child" is inspired by a poem by Pedro Homem de Melo and is a play whose simplicity takes us to the first night of Christmas, to the environment of the popular imagination in which the crib is revealed in all its humanism and spirituality.
"Sleeping Boy, deep silence
Blessed, blessed, savior of the world.
Night, cold night
but how beautiful it is
On one side Mary, on the other Joseph.
An angel unveils the tip of the veil
And the image of heaven falls to the earth".
- Pedro Homem de Melo
