A starring role for Magheralin Christmas trees

This past weekend, the Parish of Magheralin attracted a lot of media interest with its hugely successful ‘Festival of Christmas Trees’ held in the church building.

The trees were the stars as they tell the Christmas story from creation to Calvary and beyond through creative themes and decorations.

Not only was this stunning Christmas display open to all the community but many different sectors of the community were represented by the trees they have specially decorated or sponsored.

The event was officially opened on 29 November with David Simpson MP, Bishop Harold Miller and Carla Lockhart (Mayor of Craigavon) all in attendance.
