Tamara Tunie, actress and award-winning producer, leads the 98th annual reading of Clement Clarke Moore's famous poem. Lantern procession, wreath-laying, and reception immediately follows at Trinity Church Cemetery & Mausoleum, located across from the church. 

Clement Clarke Moore (1779-1863) was the son of Dr. Benjamin Moore, the sixth rector of Trinity Parish. In 1822, as a Christmas present for his six children, Moore wrote the poem that became a classic for all to cherish. Moore is buried at Trinity Church Cemetery & Mausoleum, which is located across from The Church of the Intercession.
