Instead, a December in Australia consists of warm days and outdoor barbeques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Australia, what would often be considered \u201cwinter months\u201d like December are instead the \u201csummer months,\u201d filled with beach days and sunshine. However, the city of Sydney offers a special Christmas tradition that brings extraordinary Christmas cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In December, St. Mary\u2019s Cathedral in Sydney becomes a magical Christmas wonderland through \u201cChristmas at the Cathedral.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Created by the Archdiocese of Sydney, \u201cChristmas at the Cathedral\u201d is a tremendous celebration, drawing thousands of visitors from Australia and from around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A free festival, \u201cChristmas at the Cathedral\u201d offers fellowship, food, performances, and more. However, the main event is the animated light show that is projected on the outside of the Cathedral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Electric Canvas is the company that produces this light show. Using over 30 million pixels, Electric Canvas creates beautiful images showing the Christmas story and symbols of Christmas, all sprawled across the Cathedral\u2019s exterior. Peter Milne, Project Designer and Director, discusses this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PETER MILNE<br>Project Designer and Director, Electric Canvas<\/strong><br><em>It\u2019s turned into a really major Christmas festival in the city of Sydney. For our part, mapping the magnificent facade of the Cathedral is just a joy. It\u2019s such a beautiful example of its kind of architecture in the city, and we just love working with it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Milne continued to explain the process for the light show and the impact it has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PETER MILNE<br>Project Designer and Director, Electric Canvas<\/strong><br><em>You know, we put a great deal of effort into soundtrack as well, because we believe that soundtrack is a very very important element of the whole presentation it\u00b4s an immersive theatrical presentation, and that\u00b4s why we treated it its not a light show, its not just a projection. It\u2019s an immersive experience, a theatrical experience for the people that come here.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cChristmas at the Cathedral\u201d brings all visitors closer to the joy of Christ\u2019s birth through the beauty and spectacle of the light show. It also provides a place of unity for people to celebrate Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though an Australian Christmas may be warm and without snow, that does not stop the people from celebrating Christ\u2019s birth with joyous holiday spirit at \u201cChristmas at the Cathedral.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During December in Sydney, Australia, the summer weather does not stop people from celebrating Christmas with fullest cheer through the \u201cChristmas at the Cathedral\u201d festival and light show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":758,"featured_media":73448,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,179,26],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ynoouCGKID8","video_descarga":"https:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bchristmassaustraliaeng.mp4","international_url":"https:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bchristmassaustraliaint.mp4","type":"bn","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73451"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/758"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73451"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73451\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":73453,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73451\/revisions\/73453"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
