Great Hall Tree Installation
Loading...
Uploaded by SJAbbeyVocations on Dec 8, 2009
Every year the Saint John's community in Collegeville, MN cuts a large evergreen tree from its Arboretum to install in the Great Hall. Students, faculty, staff, monastics, and family members alike have often wondered, "How do you get such a HUGE tree into the church without taking the roof off and dropping it in?!" The answer: you pull it in!

I always wondered how they did that! Be sure to catch the Christmas Tree Journey Video too. Great way to get in the mood for a good old fashioned Christmas. Merry Christmas!

@fastaire3 The tree is way too big for twine, the branches are huge. The monks have tried but couldn't get enough tension to where it would benefit much.

Christmas tree fun in Wichita 2010by jimloganYT977 views
Another interesting fact: the ornaments hang from the ceiling, not the tree! I helped hang them at work during my freshman year
