Sidney greets Christmas with spectacular light and sound display at cathedral

December 26, 2012

(Romereports.com) Sidney's St. Mary's Cathedral is proudly decorated this Holiday season with large projections of Christmas symbols from around the world. The light and sound displays are proved quite popular among locals and visitors.

For several years now, Cardinal George Pell has presented the displays.
