Christmas Tree Lighting

This year, the Diocese of Brooklyn’s Christmas Tree will be lit on Friday, December 13 at 5 pm near Grand Army Plaza. The public is invited to join Diocesan officials and parishioners from all over Brooklyn and Queens for this special occasion. Standing at the intersection adjacent to the Dr. Alexander Skene monument on the southeast edge of the main ellipse of the plaza, the tree will remain lit 24/7 in red lights—the only such tree in NYC—until January. This annual tradition of displaying the Christmas Tree and Nativity Creche brings the spirit and joy of the Christmas season to Prospect Park and the Brooklyn community.
